About this task
NOTE:
The discrete heat sink may become hot during normal operation. Allow sufficient time for the discrete heat sink to
cool before you touch it.
NOTE: For maximum cooling of the processor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the discrete heat sink. The oils in
your skin can reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal grease.
The following image indicates the location of the discrete heat sink and provides a visual representation of the removal
