Assembly Instructions: ASUS* Z62F
Precaution:
1. Ensure there is no power source connected to the notebook and remove bat-
tery pack. (See Fig.1)
2. Take the necessary steps to minimize risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Removing the Thermal Solution:
1. Remove the panel located on the underside of the notebook, adjacent to the
battery (two screws hold panel in place). (See Fig.2)
2. Loosen the four screws from the thermal solution cooling plate that are lo-
cated on top of the processor.
Note: These screws are smaller than the panel screws. Each screw position is
numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. Follow this sequence when removing or replacing the
thermal solution.
3. Disconnect the fan cable from the motherboard and remove the two additional
screws located near the heat sink fan. (See Fig.3)
4. When all the screws are detached, remove the thermal solution by lifting the
cooling plate side of the thermal solution slightly upward and then gently pull-
ing the fan side away from the edge of the notebook.
Note: It is recommended that you turn each screw only three revolutions at
a time. For example, when removing the thermal solution, start with screw
number 1 and turn three revolutions counter clockwise. Then move to screw
number 2 and turn three revolutions. Follow the same steps for screw num-
ber 3 and then 4. Repeat this process approximately three times, or until all
screws release from the motherboard. This will ensure that the cooling plate
surface is secured (or removed) evenly across the processor surface.
Securing the Processor:
1. When installing a processor be sure to align pin one of the processor with pin
one on the processor socket. (See Fig.4)
2. Once the processor is properly in place, turn the retention screw 180 degrees
clockwise to secure.
3. Check to ensure that the thermal interface material (TIM) is adequately applied
to the processor. Reapply the TIM if necessary.
4. Replace the thermal solution.
