Procedure
Step 1. If you are replacing a processor and reusing the heat sink.
a. Remove the processor identification label from the heat sink and replace it with the new label
that comes with the replacement processor.
b. If there is any old thermal grease on the heat sink, wipe the thermal grease from the bottom of
the heat sink with an alcohol cleaning pad.
Step 2. If you are replacing a heat sink and reusing the processor.
a. Remove the processor identification label from the old heat sink and place it on the new heat
sink in the same location. The label is on the side of the heat sink closest to the triangular
alignment mark.
Note: If you are unable to remove the label and place it on the new heat sink, or if the label is
damaged during transfer, write the processor serial number from the processor identification
label on the new heat sink in the same location as the label would be placed using a permanent
marker.
b. Install processor in new carrier.
