CAUTION: To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only a heat sink specified for the

Be careful not to touch or scratch the thermal interface material.
2. Install the new heat sink.
a. Align then insert the heat sink on top of the processor.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the heat sink’s spring loaded screws to prevent them from breaking
off. A maximum torque of 6 in lb is set for the system.
b. Tighten the four spring-loaded screws a few threads in, observing a diagonally opposite
pattern, and then tighten them completely to secure the heat sink to the processor base.
