3. If using a new heat sink, remove the protective covering from the bottom of the heat sink and
place it in position atop the processor.
4. Secure the heat sink to the system board and system board tray with the 4 captive screws and
attach the heat sink control cable and the thermal sensor cable to the system board.
CAUTION: Heat sink retaining screws should be tightened in diagonally opposite pairs (as in
an X) to evenly seat the heat sink on the processor. This is especially important as the pins on
the socket are very fragile and any damage to them may require replacing the system board.
