CPU and CPU cooling assembly
The CPU is installed in a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket on the motherboard. Before
removing the CPU from its socket, remove the motherboard from the chassis (see page 28),
disconnect the CPU fan cable from the motherboard, and remove the cooling assembly from
the CPU socket (see page 41). The CPU cooling assembly consists of a fan and a heatsink.
NOTE: Do not remove the CPU fan from the heatsink.
