1. Remove the protective film on the TIM if present (see letter A).
2. 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:
a) 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.)
b) Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter
D). Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.
c) 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).
