Install the heat sink.
•
If the heat sink provided has a foil thermal interface material strip on the bottom
of the heat sink, place the heat sink on the microprocessor.
•
If the heat sink provided has a thermal grease tab, remove the tab and place the
heat sink on the microprocessor.
•
If heat-sink thermal grease is provided, clean the heat sink and apply the thermal
grease before placing the heat sink on the microprocessor.
See your system information label on the system cover for the correct heat sink
orientation.
NOTICE: To avoid possible damage to the microprocessor, you must align the heat sink so that
the triangular mark on the heat sink points toward the triangular mark on the system board, if
applicable.
10
Orient the heat-sink retention clip as shown in your Installation and Troubleshooting
Guide.
11
Hook the end of the clip without the release tab over the tab on the edge of the socket.
12
Press down on the release tab until the hole on the clip latches onto the ZIF socket
tab.
NOTICE: If a cooling fan is provided with your upgrade kit, you must install the fan on the
microprocessor heat sink to provide proper thermal conditions. For information on installing a
cooling fan, see your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
13
If a cooling fan is provided with your upgrade kit or if you removed a cooling fan earlier
in this procedure, install the fan on the microprocessor heat sink.
14
Install the VRM(s):
a
If you are adding a secondary microprocessor, examine the VRM to ensure that it
is the correct VRM for your system.
b
Insert the VRM in the appropriate secondary VRM connector, ensuring that the
latches at each end of the connector engage (see Figure 1-2).
c
If you received two VRMs with the upgrade kit, replace the primary VRM already
installed in the system with one of the VRMs from the upgrade kit.
NOTE: The system does not support mismatched VRMs.
