Hardware Installations and Upgrades
I.
Install the heatsink onto the processor.
i. Use one's thumb and turn connector quarter turn to lock in.
The bottom of the heat sink has thermal interface material (TIM) already applied. Be careful not to
damage the thermal interface material. Platform models must use an active heat sink with fan.
Note: SR1425BK1-E models come with a custom copper 1u passive heat
sink. Solid areas go on the left and the right (not the front and back of the
processor).
If TIM is covered by a protective sheet, remove the sheet.
