Remove the heatsink.
To replace the component:
1. Clean the old thermal grease from the processor with the alcohol swab. Allow the alcohol to

2. Remove the thermal interface protective cover from the heatsink.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board, processor socket, and screws, do not
overtighten the heatsink screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system to reduce the
possibility of overtightening the screws.
