Page 55 highlights

Heat Sink (Thermal Module) The heat sink is secured with five Torx screws - four captured, one not captured. Figure 6-32 Heat sink location To remove the heat sink: 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (see Preparing to Disassemble the Computer on page 26). 2. Remove the center access panel (see Hinge Cover Panel on page 27). 3. Remove the memory access panel (see Memory Access Panel on page 29). 4. Remove the drive access panel (see Drive Access Panel on page 31). 5. Remove the stand (see Stand on page 54). 6. Remove the heat sink cover (see Heat Sink Cover on page 45). 7. Loosen the four silver captive Torx screws on the heat sink (1). CAUTION: Remove heat sink retaining screws in diagonally opposite pairs (as in an X) to even the downward forces on the processor. This is especially important as the pins on the socket are very fragile and any damage to them may require replacing the system board. Heat Sink (Thermal Module) 47
