To remove the microprocessor and fan sink:

1. Turn off the HMC and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
2. Turn the HMC on its side so that it is laying flat with the cover facing up.
3. Unlock and remove the side cover. (Refer to Removing and Replacing the Cover.
4. Disconnect any cables that impede access to the fan sink and microprocessor.

Attention: The fan-sink retention lever is spring-loaded when the fan sink is in place. Releasing the lever too quickly or allowing it to spring upward can damage the fan sink and surrounding components.

5. Remove the fan sink from the microprocessor:
1. Disconnect the fan-sink cable from the system board.
2. Release the fan-sink retention lever by pressing down on the end, moving it to the side and slowly releasing it to the open (up) position.
   
   Important: Be careful when you handle the microprocessor and fan sink. If the microprocessor and fan sink will be reused, do not contaminate the thermal material between them.
   
   
3. Tip the top of the fan sink toward the front of the HMC while you slide it away from the lower flange of the retention module. Then, remove it from the HMC. After removal, place the fan sink on its side on a clean, flat surface.
   
   Attention: The microprocessor retention lever is spring-loaded when the microprocessor is in place. Releasing the lever too quickly or allowing it to spring upward can damage the microprocessor and surrounding components.
   
   
6. Release the microprocessor retention latch by pressing down on the end, moving it to the side, and slowly releasing it to the open (up) position.
   
   
   
7. Open the microprocessor bracket frame by lifting up the tab on the top edge.
   
   Attention: Use the vacuum tool that comes with the replacement part to remove the microprocessor. Dropping the microprocessor during removal can damage the contacts. Also, contaminants on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between the contacts and the socket.
   
   
8. Remove the microprocessor by using the vacuum tool and completing the following steps:
   
   
   
   1. Squeeze and hold the bladder of the tool. Then, place the suction cup on the microprocessor and release the bladder.
   2. Using the tool, carefully lift the microprocessor straight up and out of the socket, and place it on a static-protective surface.
   3. Squeeze the bladder of the tool to release the microprocessor from the suction cup.
9. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor and fan sink, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials supplied to you for shipping.
