Replacing the Processor Heat Sink
WARNING:
Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For additional safety best
practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
WARNING:
The heat sink may be very hot during normal operation. Ensure that it has had sufficient time to cool before you touch it.
CAUTION:
Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your computer. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell™
is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION:
To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself by using a wrist grounding strap or by periodically touching an unpainted metal
surface (such as a connector on your computer).
CAUTION:
To ensure maximum cooling for the processor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the processor heat-sink. The oils in your skin
can reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal grease.
