NOTE: Your kit may contain a replacement heat sink if you are installing a
processor that consumes additional power. The new heat sink may not appear
different than the original one; however, it has improved thermal dissipation
specifications and must be used.
11 Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.
CAUTION: Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming
in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.
12 Keeping the heat sink pin aligned with the slot on the system board,
place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-22.
13 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two heat-sink retention
screws. See Figure 3-22.
14 If applicable, replace the cooling fan assembly. See "Installing the Cooling
Fan Assembly" on page 102.
15 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on

16 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 79.
17 Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn
on the system.
18 Press to enter the System Setup program, and check that the processor
information matches the new system configuration. See "Entering the
System Setup Program" on page 56.

correctly.
