5. If you are removing an Intel processor, rotate the locking lever to its full open position (1), raise
and rotate the microprocessor retainer to its full open position (2), and then carefully lift the
processor from the socket (3).
CAUTION: Do NOT handle the pins in the processor socket. These pins are very fragile and
handling them could cause irreparable damage. Once pins are damaged it may be necessary to
replace the system board.
CAUTION: The heat sink must be installed within 24 hours of installing the processor to
prevent damage to the processor’s solder connections.
