Insert a Heat Sink

  1. Secure the heat sink over the CPU to the Replication Engine motherboard by inserting the four screws on the four sides of the heat sink.
    Note: Ensure that the CPU is cleaned with an alcohol pad and fresh thermal grease is applied, when installing a new heat sink, to prevent overheating and damage to the CPU.
    Important! Ensure that the heat sink and the screws are aligned correctly and the screws on diagonal ends of the heat sink are tightened first. A slight force might need to be applied to push down the screwdriver while tightening the screws to overcome the tension generated.
  2. Tighten the four Phillips screws on the heat sink a few turns at a time in a diametrically opposed pattern using a Phillips Number 2 screwdriver.
