About this task
CAUTION: The heat sink may become hot during normal operation. Allow sufficient time for the heat sink to cool before
you touch it.
NOTE: For maximum cooling of the processor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the heat sink. The oils in your skin can
reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal grease.
The following image(s) indicate the location of the fan and heat-sink assembly and provides a visual representation of the removal
