Heat sink
To remove the heat sink, use these procedures.
NOTE: The heat sink spare part kit includes replacement thermal material.
Before removing the heat sink, follow these steps:
NOTE: When replacing the heat sink, be sure that the processor (see Processor on page 47) is
removed from the defective heat sink and installed on the replacement heat sink.
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (see Preparation for disassembly on page 26).
2. Remove the access panel (see Access panel on page 29).
3. Remove the CPU/memory panel (see CPU/memory panel on page 32).
4. Remove the drive/memory fan (see Memory fan on page 40).
Remove the heat sink:
1. Disconnect the heat sink fan cable (1) from the system board.
2. In the sequence indicated on the label on the heat sink, loosen the four slotted Torx30 captive
screws (2) that secure the heat sink to the computer.
IMPORTANT: Remove heat sink retaining screws in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to even
the downward forces on the processor. The pins on the socket are fragile, and damage to them
might require replacing the system board.
3. Pull the levers (3) located on the outside of each screw toward each other.
