socket if it is not properly aligned to the socket. The processor should be inspected to
ensure that it is properly seated on the socket, such that the guiding features are
visible on all four keying sites.
Once the processor is properly seated on the socket, lower the ILM load plate, and
completely actuate and latch the Active and Hinge lever in that order to load the entire
assembly. Inspect the assembly to ensure that it is properly installed.
A.4 Heatsink Installation
The assembly process for the reference heatsink begins with application of PCM45F TIM
to improve conduction from the IHS. The recommended TIM to ensure full coverage of
the IHS is 35x35 mm square.
Position the heatsink with the pre-applied TIM such that the heatsink fasteners are
properly oriented and aligned to the ILM. While lowering the heatsink onto the IHS,
align the four captive screws of the heatsink to the four threaded studs on the ILM
frame.
