9. Are you replacing the TIM or heat sink?
Yes: Continue with the next step.
No: Go to step 11.
10. Install a new TIM pad:
a. If the TIM or heat sink must be replaced, order part number 00E9320, 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 microprocessor
with the black side facing up. Align the beveled edges of the TIM and the microprocessor (A), as
shown in Figure 44.

11. Install the heat sink:
a. Lower the heat sink over the microprocessor, ensuring that the two guide pins (B) are inserted
into the alignment holes on each side of the tool, as shown in Figure 45 on page 81.
b. Ensure that the heat-sink load arm is engaged.
Note: If the load arm is not engaged, you must manually engage the load arm onto the heat sink
while the load screw is being tightened.
