Installing the Heatsink

You must install the processor before installing the heatsink. For instructions, see

“Installing the Processor” on page 52.

Caution: Improper installation can damage the heatsink. Pay close attention to the steps and

perform each step exactly as indicated to avoid damage.

Caution: The heatsink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use

caution when you unpack the heatsink so you do not damage the TIM.

Note: New unused heatsinks have adequate TIM on the bottom. If you are reusing a heatsink

from replacing a processor, make sure there is adequate TIM present on the heatsink to

support processor cooling.
