Attaching the Processor Package Assembly to the Heatsink to
Form the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)
After you have made a processor package assembly by following the instructions on the
previous page, please follow the steps below to mount the processor package assembly onto
the heatsink to create the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM).
1. Locate "1" on the heatsink label and the triangular corner next to it on the heatsink.
With your index finger pressing against the screw at this triangular corner, carefully hold
and turn the heatsink upside down with the thermal-grease side facing up. Remove the
protective thermal film if present, and apply the proper amount of the thermal grease
as needed. (Skip this step if you have a new heatsink because the necessary thermal
grease is pre-applied in the factory.)
2. Holding the processor package assembly at the center edge, turn it upside down. With
the thermal-grease side facing up, locate the hollow triangle located at the corner of the
processor carrier assembly ("a" in the graphic). Note a larger hole and plastic mounting
clicks located next to the hollow triangle. Also locate another set of mounting clicks and
a larger hole at the diagonal corner
of the same (reverse) side of the
processor carrier assembly ("b" in the
graphic).
3. With the back of heatsink and
the reverse side of the processor
package assembly facing up, align
the triangular corner on the heatsink
("A" in the graphic) against the
mounting clips next to the hollow
triangle ("a") on the processor
package assembly.
4. Also align the triangular corner ("B")
at the diagonal side of the heatsink
with the corresponding clips on the
processor package assembly ("b").
5. Once the mounting clips on the
processor package assembly
are properly aligned with the
corresponding holes on the back of
heatsink, securely attach the heatsink
to the processor package assembly
by snapping the mounting clips at
the proper places on the heatsink to
create the processor heatsink module
(PHM).
