Removing and replacing components
TO REMOVE THE CPU AND CPU COOLING ASSEMBLY
1. Shut down and open the Fiery X3eTY (see pages 8 and 10).
2. Position the Fiery X3eTY so that it is laying on its side and the components inside the
chassis are facing up.
3. Remove the CPU fan cable from motherboard connector FAN1.
4. Remove the CPU cooling assembly:
Be aware that both the cooling assembly and the CPU may be very hot. Allow the
components cool before attempting to remove them.
Several motherboard components are very close to the cooling assembly. Make sure not
to damage these components when removing or replacing the cooling assembly.
•Move the levers on the clamp to
the open position (spine up).
•Use a small flathead screwdriver
to bend the four hooks out of the
slots in the bracket one at a time.
Make sure not to damage the
motherboard as you bend the
hooks out of the bracket.
• Lift the cooling assembly off the
CPU socket and set it aside.
Use caution when lifting the
cooling assembly out of the
bracket, as the thermal compound
applied to the bottom of the
heatsink may damage the CPU if
the heatsink is removed too
forcefully.
