2. If this is a new heatsink, the thermal grease has been pre-applied. Otherwise, apply the
proper amount of thermal grease.
3. Hold the processor carrier assembly so the processor's gold contacts are facing up,
then align the holes of the processor carrier assembly with the holes on the heatsink.
Press the processor carrier assembly down until it snaps into place. The plastic clips of
the processor carrier assembly will lock at the four corners.
4. Examine all corners to ensure that the plastic clips on the processor carrier assembly
