Before you begin
Follow all safety guidelines.
CAUTION
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to replace the
processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
Procedure
1. Align the Pin1 indicator on the heat sink with the indicator on the system board
and place the processor and heat sink module (PHM) on the processor socket.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat
sink fins.
Note
Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging
the components.
2. Push the blue retention clips inward to allow the heat sink to drop in place.
3. Using the Torx #T30 screwdriver, tighten the screws on the heat sink in the
order below:
a. Partially tighten the first screw (approximately 3 turns).
b. Tighten the second screw completely.
c. Return to the first screw and tighten it completely.
If the PHM slips off the blue retention clips when the screws are partially
tightened, follow these steps to secure the PHM:
a. Loosen both the heat sink screws completely.
b. Lower the PHM on to the blue retention clips.
c. Secure the PHM to the system board, following the replacement
instructions listed in this step mentioned above.
Note
The processor and heat sink module retention screws should not be tightened
to more than 0.13 kgf-m (1.35 N.m or 12 in-lbf).
