• Gently slide the DIMM straight down into the socket and press so that the levers lock the DIMM
into place. Make sure that the levers close securely around the ends of the DIMM.

CPU and Cooling Assembly
Overview
You can replace the following parts.
•
Cooling Assembly only
• CPU and Cooling Assembly (as a set). If you replace the CPU, you must replace the cooling
assembly also, as a set.
The cooling assembly consists of a fan with heat sink and a clip assembly.
• Be careful not to damage the motherboard, the CPU, or the CPU socket when you replace the
cooling assembly. Remove the memory before you remove the cooling assembly.
•
When you want to replace the CPU, replace the CPU and the cooling assembly as a set. This is
very important, because the thermal pad that is attached to a new heat sink will make a good
contact between the CPU and the heat sink when heated. If you attach a used cooling assembly to
a new CPU by mistake, the heat sink will not contact the CPU properly, and this will cause the CPU
to overheat.
• When replacing the CPU holder bracket on the back side of the motherboard, remove the release
paper from the double-sided tape on the new CPU holder bracket first. Then, attach the CPU
holder bracket to the motherboard using the double-sided tape.
