Installing the Heat Sink(s)

The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use
caution when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM.
1. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four
posts surrounding the processor.
2. Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a diagonal manner.
Do no fully tighten one screw before tightening another.
3. Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw until each is firmly tightened.
