Installing the heat sink

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.

Steps

  1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.
  2. Apply new thermal grease evenly to the center of the top of the new processor.
    CAUTION: Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.
  3. Place the heat sink on the processor.
  4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the heat sink retention screws.

Next steps

Replace the system board assembly.
