15. Repeat step 14 on page 92 for the remaining heat sink.
16. Are you replacing the TIM or heat sink?
Yes: Continue with step 17.
No: Go to step 18 on page 94.
17. Install a new TIM pad:
a. If the TIM or heat sink must be replaced, order part number 00E8868 (heat sink and TIM).
b. Open the TIM packaging and carefully remove the TIM, holding it by the edges of the carrier
strip and holding it away from the shipping container.
c. Remove the protective film from the clear carrier strip by using the supplied tweezers.
Note: The TIM must remain flat. Small wrinkles are acceptable, but folds are not acceptable.
d. Using the tweezers, remove the TIM from the carrier strip and center it onto the system
processor module with the black side facing up. If the replacement TIM has a red stripe, the side
with the red stripe must be facing up. Align the beveled edges of the TIM and the system
processor module (A), as shown in Figure 95 on page 94.
