Installing a Heat Sink

1. If this is a new heat sink (not one removed to add/replace a processor), remove the protective film, if present, on the Thermal
Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of the heat sink. (Figure 28, "A")
2. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four socket posts surrounding the processor.
Align the heat sink fins to the front and back of the chassis for correct airflow (front to back). (See Figure 28)
3. Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners by tightening one, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on.
("B")
4. Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw in diagonal order until each one is firmly tightened. See Figure 28 for the
order.
CAUTION: the torque spec for these screws is 8 inch pounds. Be careful not to exceed it.
