•
If present, remove the protective film covering the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) on the bottom side of
the heatsink (see letter ‘A’).
•
Align heatsink fins to the front and back of the chassis for correct airflow. Airflow goes from front-to-back
of chassis (see letter ‘B’).
•
Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a diagonal manner using the
following procedure:
•
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw threads by giving it two rotations
and stop (see letter ‘C’). (Do not fully tighten.)
•
Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter ‘D’). Similarly,
engage screws 3 and 4.
•
Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time until each screw is lightly tightened
up to a maximum of 8 inch-lbs torque (see letter ‘E’).
