Procedure
CAUTION: Incorrect alignment of the processor liquid-cooling assembly
can damage the system board and processor.
1
Apply thermal grease between the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump
and the processor.
NOTE: The original thermal grease can be reused if the original
processor and processor liquid-cooling are reinstalled together. If
either the processor or the processor liquid-cooling is replaced, use
the thermal grease provided in the kit to ensure that thermal
conductivity is achieved.
2 Hold the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump in one hand and processor
liquid-cooling assembly fan in another.
3 Align the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump over the processor, while
holding the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan outside the chassis and
secure the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump.
4 Connect the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan and the processor liquid-
cooling assembly pump-fan cable to the connectors on the system board.
5 Align the screw holes on the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan with the
screw holes on the chassis.
6 Replace the four screws (M5x10) that secure the processor liquid-cooling
assembly fan to the chassis.
