Replacing the Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly
CAUTION:
Before working inside your computer, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information
Guide.
NOTICE:
To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body
before you touch any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal
surface.
NOTE:
The original pad can be reused if the original processor and heat sink are reinstalled together. If either the
processor or heat sink is replaced, use the thermal pad provided in the kit to ensure that thermal conductivity is
achieved.
NOTE:
This procedure assumes that you have already removed the processor thermal-cooling assembly and are ready
to replace it.
1. Peel the backing off the thermal cooling pad and adhere the pad to the portion of the thermal-cooling assembly that
covers the processor.
2. Place the assembly on the system board.
3. Tighten the five captive screws on the thermal-cooling assembly.
