To replace the component:
1. Clean the old thermal grease from the processor with the alcohol swab. Allow the alcohol to evaporate

CAUTION: Heatsink retaining screws should be tightened or loosened in diagonally opposite
pairs (in an "X" pattern). Do not overtighten the screws as this can damage the board, connectors,
or screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system to reduce the possibility of overtightening the
screws.

a. Position the heatsink on the processor backplate.
b. Tighten one pair of diagonally opposite screws halfway, and then tighten the other pair of screws.
