Inspect the Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
a.
Inspect the TIM on the heat sink for visible signs of damage. It must be flat and centered on the
heat sink WITH NO FOLDS. Small wrinkles are acceptable.
b.
If the TIM is not flat, is not centered, or has folds in it, it is considered damaged.
Note:
If the TIM is Indium or Hitachi, it is fixed to the heat sink. In this case, if the TIM is
damaged, the entire heat sink module of the failing system processor module must be replaced. If
the TIM is Dexerials, it is not fixed to the heat sink. In this case, the heat sink can be used
regardless of the state of the TIM. In case of a Dexerials TIM, discard it if it's damaged,
otherwise, move it with tweezers to the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) surface. Make sure that the
surface is clean.
