DigiPoS PowerPoS Technical Manual
The Heat Pipe, Air Tunnel & CPU
The thermal transfer pad on CPU heat pipe assembly can be easily damaged if the
heat pipe is removed and refitted several times. We therefore recommend that only
DigiPoS Systems or authorized agents for DigiPoS Systems attempt to remove the
heat pipe. Failure to comply with this notice shall void all warranties.
Shown above is an exploded diagram of how access is gained to the CPU via the air
tunnel. It is very important that extreme care is taken when removing this item not to
damage or deform the blue, liquid-cooling assembly in any way. Also please take note of
the screw types and their locations when removing them so that when re-assembly is
undertaken, the correct screws go back into the correct location.
Once the air tunnel assembly has been removed, the CPU should now be visible.
The following steps will take you through how to remove the Socket 370 FC-PGA CPU.
Close
Open
Step 1
Use a screwdriver to carefully lever the
processor from the plastic cavity engraved
with “Open” to the “Close” end. This will unlock
your processor and render it free to be
extracted.
