b. Remove the fan/heat sink assembly (5).
NOTE: Due to the adhesive quality of the thermal material located between the fan/heat sink
assembly and the system board components, it may be necessary to move the heat sink assembly
from side to side to detach it.
NOTE: The thermal material must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces of the heat sink assembly and
the system board components each time the fan/heat sink assembly is removed. Replacement thermal
material is included with the fan/heat sink assembly, processor, and system board spare part kits.
