Replacing the Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly
1. Place a new thermal pad over the old thermal pad on the thermal-cooling assembly:
a. Remove the backing from the new thermal pad, taking care not to tear the pad.
NOTE: You can place the new thermal pad directly on any existing thermal pad already installed on the thermal-cooling
assembly. It is not necessary to remove an existing pad or to clean the surface.
b. On the underside of the thermal-cooling assembly, place the thermal pad's adhesive-side on top of the old pad,
and press it into place.
