  1. Tip: A portion of the air duct over CPU-1 must be removed to access CPU-1 and Heat sink-1.
    Loosen the four Phillips screws on the four sides of the heat sink in a diagonal pattern using a Phillips Number 2 screwdriver.

    The four Phillips screws on the four sides of the heat sink secure the heat sink to the Pilot chassis.
