Note: Replacement heat sinks come with different processor carriers. Make sure to use the
carrier with the same carrier code markings as the one discarded.
1.
Make sure the handle on the carrier is in the closed position.
2.
Align the processor on the new carrier so that the triangular marks align; then, insert the
marked end of the processor into the carrier.
3.
Hold the inserted end of the processor in place; then, pivot the unmarked end of the
carrier down and away from the processor.
4.
Press the processor and secure the unmarked end under the clip on the carrier.
5.
Carefully pivot the sides of the carrier down and away from the processor.
6. Press the processor and secure the sides under the clips on the carrier.
Note: To prevent the processor from falling out of the carrier, keep the processor-contact
side up and hold the processor-carrier assembly by the sides of the carrier.
Step 3. Apply thermal grease.
• If you are replacing the heat sink and reusing the processor, a new heat sink comes with thermal
grease and you do not need to apply new thermal grease.
Note: To ensure the best performance, check the manufacturing date on the new heat sink and
make sure it does not exceed two years. Otherwise, wipe off the existing thermal grease and
apply new thermal grease.
• If you are replacing the processor and reusing the heat sink, do the following steps to apply
thermal grease:
1. If there is any old thermal grease on the heat sink, wipe off the thermal grease with an
alcohol cleaning pad.
2. Carefully place the processor and carrier in the shipping tray with the processor-contact
side down. Make sure the triangular mark on the carrier is oriented in the shipping tray as
shown below.
3. Apply the thermal grease on the top of the processor with syringe by forming four uniformly
spaced dots, while each dot consists of about 0.1 ml of thermal grease.

Step 4. Assemble the processor and heat sink.
