Steps
1. Turn the system-board assembly over.
2. Disconnect the left and right heat-sink assembly fan cables from the system board.
3. In reverse sequential order (8>7>6>5>4>3>2>1) loosen the eight captive screws (M2x3) that secure the fan and heat-sink
assembly to the system board.
4. Lift the fan and heat-sink assembly from the system board.
CAUTION:
Do not use an alcohol wipe to clean the Element 31 thermal grease off the surface of the CPU,
the alcohol solution from the wipes will dissolve the Element 31 grease into conductive metal particles. If
these conductive metal particles come into contact with the surface of the system board, it will cause the an
electrical short when system is powered on.
