Procedure

Note: The Heatsink and fans are one assembly part.

1. Remove the screws and lift out the heatsink and fan assembly.

Important: Do not attempt to transfer fans from one heat sink to another. This can create acoustic issues.

Replacement Note: Make sure to clean existing thermal material from the logic board and apply new thermal material (see Logic Board chapter).

Important: If a replacement heatsink comes with thermal pads installed, you will only need to install Thermal Gel (922-5929) to the center mating surface of the heatsink.

2. Reassemble and test all ports, components and functions of the computer.
