Abstract
The present invention provides a processor-removing tool for removing an Intel Slot 1 processor from a right angle Slot 1 connector. The Slot 1 connector is installed on a horizontally oriented motherboard over which the processor can be horizontally inserted into or removed from the Slot 1 connector. When the processor is horizontally inserted into the connector, two vertical gaps are present between the left and right sides of the processor and the corresponding two sides of the connector. The tool comprises a shaft, two supporting poles installed at two sides of the shaft, and two rods installed at a front end of the two supporting poles. When horizontally removing the processor from the connector, the two rods of the tool are inserted into the two vertical gaps and the shaft of the tool can be pressed to move the left and right sides of the processor backward in the same time so that the processor can be horizontally ejected from the connector.
