Processor Heatsink Installation
•
If present, remove the protective film covering the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) on the bottom side of the
heatsink (see letter "A").
•
Align heatsink fins to the front and back of the chassis for correct airflow. Airflow goes from front-to-back of chassis
(see letter "B").
•
Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a diagonal manner using the following
procedure:
•
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw threads by giving it two rotations and stop
(see letter "C"). (Do not fully tighten.)
•
Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter "D"). Similarly, engage
screws 3 and 4.
•
Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time until each screw is lightly tightened up to a
maximum of 8 inch-lbs torque (see letter "E").
