9. Hold the tab on the processor shield and rotate it upward and out of the way.
10. If applicable, remove the socket protective cap from the processor shield. To remove the socket
protective cap, push the cap from the inside of the processor shield and move it away from the
socket pins.
NOTE: It is recommended that you install/remove the socket protective cap from the processor
shield with the processor shield in the open position.
CAUTION: The socket pins are fragile and can be permanently damaged. Be careful not to
bend the pins in the socket when removing the processor out of the socket.
11. Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the
new processor.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing a processor, you must install a socket protective
cap and a processor/DIMM blank in the vacant socket to ensure proper system cooling. The
processor/DIMM blank covers the vacant sockets for the DIMMs and the processor.
