9. Very carefully apply the thermal interface material (heat radiation sheet) on
top of the processor so that it is completely covered. See Figure 4-13.
Notes: The thermal interface material is very fragile, it
must be handled very carefully. If the cooling sheet is
damaged, it must be replaced with a new one. Reuse of the
cooling sheet is not permitted.
Do not stick multiple cooling sheets on a processor, on ly one
is needed. Keep any remaining cooling sheets as spares .
