Replacing the Processor Fan and Heat Sink Assembly CAUTION: When reinstalling the fan, ensure that you do not pinch the wires that run between the system board and the fan. 1 Clean the thermal grease from the bottom of the processor fan and heat sink assembly. CAUTION: Ensure that you apply new thermal grease. New thermal grease is critical for ensuring adequate thermal bonding, which is a requirement for optimal processor operation. 2 Apply the new thermal grease to the top of the processor. 3 Place the processor fan and heat sink assembly back onto the bracket. 4 Ensure that the two clamp grips are aligned with the two bracket projections. 5 Hold the processor fan and heat sink assembly in place and rotate the clamp lever 180 degrees counter-clockwise to secure the processor fan and heat sink assembly.

When reinstalling the fan, ensure that you do not pinch the wires that
run between the system board and the fan.
1
Clean the thermal grease from the bottom of the processor fan and heat
sink assembly.
CAUTION:
Ensure that you apply new thermal grease. New thermal grease is
critical for ensuring adequate thermal bonding, which is a requirement for optimal
processor operation.
2
Apply the new thermal grease to the top of the processor.
3
Place the processor fan and heat sink assembly back onto the bracket.
4
Ensure that the two clamp grips are aligned with the two bracket
projections.
5
Hold the processor fan and heat sink assembly in place and rotate the
clamp lever 180 degrees counter-clockwise to secure the processor fan and
