Thermal Pad
Make sure you place the thermal pad’s adhe-
sive side down onto the computer surface as
illustrated.
The usage of the thermal pad will depend
upon the thickness of the module being used.
• If you are using the thinner module, then
apply the whole thermal pad provided on
the computer.
• If you are using the thicker module, sepa-
rate the pad into its two parts. Use the
larger part and place the adhesive side
onto the computer (discard the smaller
part that you have separated).
