Prerequisites

  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.

Steps

  1. If you are using an existing SXM2-GPU heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
