3. Thoroughly clean the thermal material from the surfaces of the heat sink and the system board
components each time the heat sink is removed. Replacement thermal material is included with the
heat sink and system board spare part kits.
IMPORTANT: Tighten heat sink retaining screws in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to evenly seat
the heat sink on the processor to avoid damage that could require replacing the system board.
To replace the heat sink, reverse the removal procedures.
