Installing the Heat Sink

CAUTION:

The heat sinks for CPU0 and CPU1 are different and are labelled

accordingly. They must be installed in the correct location to prevent the
system from overheating.

1 Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.
2 Apply new thermal grease evenly to the center of the top of the

new processor.

3 Remove the protective cover from the underside of the heat sink.

NOTE:

Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the

processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.

4 Place the heat sink(s) on top of the processor(s) and tighten the four

captive screws.

5 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 57.
