Replacing the Heat-Sink Assembly

NOTE:

The original thermal pad can be reused if the original processor and

heat sink are reinstalled together. If either the processor or heat sink is replaced,

use the thermal pad provided in the kit to ensure that thermal conductivity is

achieved.

NOTE:

This procedure assumes that you have already removed the heat-sink

assembly and are ready to replace it.

1 Follow the instructions in "Before You Begin" on page 9.
2 Align the three captive screws on the heat-sink assembly with the screw

holes on the system board and tighten the screws in sequential order as

indicated on the processor heat sink.
