4. Remove the plastic film from the thermal pads on the bottom of the heatsink. If the thermal pad on the M.2 heatsink becomes damaged, we recommend replacing it with the bundled thermal pad or a thermal pad with a thickness of 1.25mm. 5. Replace the heatsink. We strongly recommend installing the motherboard into the chassis before replacing the M.2_1 heatsink, as one of the motherboard screw holes used to secure the motherboard to the chassis will not be reachable if the M.2_1heatsink is replaced before installing the motherboard into the chassis. 6.
