Assembling the Processor
Heatsink Module
After creating the processor carrier
assembly for the processor, mount it
onto the heatsink to create the processor
heatsink module (PHM):
1. Turn the heatsink over.
If the heatsink is pre-installed with
a fan, remove the fan from the
heatsink. If this is a new heatsink,
the thermal grease has been pre-
applied. Otherwise, apply the proper
amount of thermal grease.
2. Hold the processor carrier assembly
so the processor's gold contacts are
facing up.
3. Align the corner marked "a" on the
processor carrier assembly with
the corner of the heatsink marked
"A", and align the corners marked
"b", "c", "d" on processor assembly
against the corners marked "B", "C",
"D" on the heatsink.
4. 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.
5. Examine all corners to ensure that
the plastic clips on the processor
carrier assembly are rmly attached
to the heatsink.
Processor Carrier Assembly
(Upside Down)
Check each corner to ensure that the processor
carrier is firmly attached to the heatsink.
