Procedure
CAUTION: Incorrect alignment of the processor liquid-cooling assembly can damage the system board and processor.
1. Apply thermal grease between the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump and the processor.
NOTE: The original thermal grease can be reused if the original processor and processor liquid-cooling are reinstalled
together. If either the processor or the processor liquid-cooling is replaced, use the thermal grease provided in the kit to
ensure that thermal conductivity is achieved.
2. Hold the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump in one hand and processor liquid-cooling assembly fan in another.
3. Align the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump over the processor, while holding the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan
outside the chassis and secure the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump.
4. Connect the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan and the processor liquid-cooling assembly pump-fan cable to the connectors
on the system board.
5. Align the screw holes on the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan with the screw holes on the chassis.
6. Replace the four screws (#6-32x6) that secure the processor liquid-cooling assembly fan to the chassis.
7. In sequential order as indicated on the processor cooling-assembly, tighten the captive screws that secure the processor liquid-
cooling assembly to the system board.
Post-requisites
1. Replace the
memory modules.
2. Replace the left and right side-panels. See “Removing the side panels”.
