Steps

    NOTE:Ensure that the processor and heat sink is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.
  2. Push the blue retention clips inward to allow the heat sink to drop into place.
  3. Using the #Torx T30 screwdriver, tighten one screw at a time.
    NOTE:Ensure that the screw is tightened completely before moving onto the next screw.
