6. Follow this sequence to remove the four screws that secure the heat sink and fan assembly to the
system board:
a. Partially remove screw
1
, then fully remove screw
2
, and then fully remove screw
1
.
b. Partially remove screw
3
, then fully remove screw
4
, and then fully remove screw
3
.
Note:
Carefully remove the four screws from the system board to avoid any possible damage to the
system board. The four screws cannot be removed from the heat sink and fan assembly.

7. Lift the failing heat sink and fan assembly off the system board.
Notes:
a. You might have to gently twist the heat sink and fan assembly to free it from the microprocessor.
b. When handling the heat sink and fan assembly, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom
of the heat sink and fan assembly.
8. Place the new heat sink and fan assembly on the system board so that the four screws are aligned with
the corresponding holes in the system board.
Note:
Position the new heat sink and fan assembly so that the heat sink and fan assembly cable is
toward the microprocessor fan connector on the system board.
9. Follow the following sequence to install the four screws to secure the new heat sink and fan assembly.
Do not over-tighten the screws.
a. Partially tighten screw
1
, then fully tighten screw
2
, and then fully tighten screw
1
.
b. Partially tighten screw
3
, then fully tighten screw
4
, and then fully tighten screw
3
.
10. Connect the new heat sink and fan assembly cable to the microprocessor fan connector on the system
board. See “Locating parts on the system board” on page 72.
