4 Remove the HSF from the chassis.
The HSF type will depend on the default processor model. The
figures below show the HSF types available for the Altos G330
system.
(1) Disconnect the processor HSF cable from its mainboard
connector.
(2) Loosen the four HSF mounting pins.
(3) Twist the HSF sightly to break the thermal grease bond loose.
Once the thermal grease bond is broken, lift the HSF away
from the mainboard.
(4) Lay down the HSF in an upright position—with the thermal
patch facing upward. Do not let the thermal patch touch the
work surface.
5 Use an alcohol pad to wipe off the thermal grease from both the
HSF assembly and the processor socket retention plate.
