Removing the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)
Before removing the processor heatsink module (PHM), unplug power cord from the power
outlet.
1. Using a T30 Torx-bit screwdriver, turn the screws on the PHM counterclockwise to
loosen them from the socket, starting with screw marked #4 (in the sequence of 4, 3, 2,
1).
2. After all four screws are removed, wiggle the PHM gently and pull it up to remove it from
the socket.
Note: To properly remove the processor heatsink module, be sure to loosen and remove the
screws on the PHM in the sequence of 4, 3, 2, 1 as shown below. Wait for the heatsink to cool
down before removing it.
