If the main-board assembly needs to be installed, first replenish the
thermal paste on the heat-transfer block and on the screw boss on the
floor of the chassis:
1. Thermal paste is required on the area of the heat-transfer block
shown in Figure
between the main-board assembly and the chassis.
2. Inspect the area on the heat-transfer block requiring thermal paste,
as well as the corresponding area on the chassis. If the residual
paste has been contaminated with dirt, clean off the paste.

3. Obtain 0.1 cm
heat-sink compound (IPN 937-00000-55) or the equivalent.
4. Use a stiff brush to apply the paste in a thin film to the required
area on the heat-transfer block. Ensure that no bristles from the
brush come loose and remain embedded in the paste. The paste
needs to be completely free of contaminants.
5. Thermal paste is also required on the screw boss in contact with
the PCB. The area is shown in
well as the corresponding area on the PCB. If the residual paste
has been contaminated with dirt, clean off the paste.
6. Replenish the paste on the screw boss as described in Steps 3 and
4. The amount of paste required is about one-tenth of that used
for the heat-transfer block.
