Rotate the top of the holder to the open position.

Lift the processor out of the holder.

Important: When removing or installing a processor, always hold the processor by the edges. Be extremely careful not to touch the gold pins on the bottom of the processor, as this type of connector is very sensitive to contamination. Also be careful not to touch the gold pins in the processor socket on the logic board.

You can identify the processor by the speed etched on the processor. You must clean off the thermal grease from installed processors to see the speed.
