Remove the blade from the enclosure.
Open the blade.
WARNING: The processor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the
processor has had sufficient time to cool before handling.
If required, remove the cooling shroud.
CAUTION: Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to
remove the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper
thermal conditions.
Loosen the retention sockets that secure the heat sink
to the blade system board.

Use a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any thermal grease
from the surface of the processor shield.
CAUTION: The processor is held in its socket under strong pressure. Be aware
that the release lever can spring up suddenly if not firmly grasped.
Position your thumb firmly over the processor socket-release
lever and release the lever from the locked position. Rotate the lever
90 degrees upward until the processor is released from the socket.
Hold the tab on the processor shield and rotate it upward
and out of the way.
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.
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.
