2. Place the adhesive-side of the pad on top of the old pad, and press it into place on the thermal-cooling assembly.
3. Place the processor thermal-cooling assembly over the processor.
4. Tighten in consecutive order the five captive screws, labeled "1" through "5", on the processor thermal- cooling
assembly.
