NOTE:
This procedure applies to computers shipped with 11
th
Generation Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor. The heat sink and
the fans are separate units.
CAUTION:
Incorrect alignment of the heat sink can damage the system board and processor.
NOTE:
If either the system board or the heat sink is replaced, use the thermal pad/paste provided in the kit to ensure that
thermal conductivity is achieved.
