Installing a processor and heat sink module
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to replace the processor. The heat
sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions..
2. If installed, remove the CPU dust cover.
Steps
1. Align the pin 1 indicator of the heat sink to the system board and then place the processor and heat sink module (PHM) on
the processor socket.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
NOTE: Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.
