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 (#6-32x6) that secure the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan to the chassis.
7 In sequential order as indicated on the processor cooling-assembly, tighten the captive screws that secure the processor
liquid-cooling assembly to the system board.
8 Connect the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan cable to the system board.
