Disconnect the processor fan cable, if present, from the fan connector
on the system board. (See “System board” on page 6 for the location of
the fan connector.)

downward on the top of the hinged portion of the clip and moving the
top of the hinged portion toward the processor.
6 Unhook the other end of the metal clip.
7 Lift the heatsink straight up and off of the processor.

computer.
Important The heatsink is attached to the processor by thermal
transfer tape. The heatsink may “cling” to the processor.
