
Using Figure 28 as a guide, align the six mounting holes of the heat pipe block with the
heat plate. (Figure 28 shows the heat pipe block installed.)
3. Secure the heat pipe block to the heat plate

Affix the heat pipe block to the heat plate using six M2.5-0.45 x 10mm, Phillips, pan
head screws.

Using a torque screwdriver, tighten the screws to 4.0 inch-pounds.
