Installing the Heat Sink
Before installing the heat sink, you must install your processor. For instructions, see
“Installing the Processor”.
Caution: The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use
caution when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM.
1. Remove the protective cover from the TIM on the underside of the heat sink. Do
not touch the TIM.
2. Orient the heat sink over the processor as shown in Figure 28. You must position
the fins as shown to provide correct airflow through the system.
3. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four
posts surrounding the processor.
4. Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a diagonal manner
as shown by the four circled numbers in Figure 28. Do not fully tighten one screw
before tightening another.
5. Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw in the same order until each is
firmly tightened.
