Page 108
Chapter 5 Servicing Processors (FRU) Apply the thermal interface material (TIM). Using the supplied syringe, evenly apply all of the TIM in an "S" pattern centered on the top of the processor. Keep the "S" pattern inside a half inch of the processor edge so the TIM doesn't overflow and contaminate other parts of the processor housing.
Page 109
Chapter 5 Servicing Processors (FRU) The heatsink is keyed to go on only one way. The captive screws that attach to the pin 1 end of the socket stiffener frame are closer together than the captive screws that attach at the opposite end of the stiffener frame. Screws 1 and 2 are slightly longer than screws 3, 4, 5, and 6.
