C.2: Heatsink Mounting Instructions (XEL/XPL/XML)
A dry film interface pad is used in place of thermal grease. The pad is die-cut to shape and has
holes for the heat sink mounting screws. There are two protective sheets, blue on one side and
clear on the other. Both must be removed when the interface pad is installed.
Remove the blue protective sheet from one side of the pad.
Place the interface pad on the drive, taking care to center the pad holes over the
heatsink mounting holes.
Remove the clear protective sheet from the pad.
Mount the heatsink onto the drive taking care to see that the holes in the heatsink,
interface pad, and drive all line up.
Torque the #8-32 mounting screws to 16~20 lb-in (1.8~2.3 Nm).
NOTE: The drawing shows the standard heatsink kit but the mounting instructions
given are valid for the low profile heatsink kit as well.
