9. Figure 9 shows the proper way to remove the plastic film from the phase-change

thermally conductive compound.

Note: The phase-change thermal compound is very important to the efficiency and

success of the heatsink. The compound must be applied evenly to the surface of the

heatsink so it can (basically) melt and fill any microscopic voids in the surfaces of the

processor and heatsink with a thermally conductive material.

Caution: If you have never installed a heat sink with this type of phase-change

thermal material, we suggest that you not remove this film until after you have

practiced installing the heatsink and mounting the clips on the socket. It may take a

few trials until you are familiar with the procedure. If you want to become familiar

with the process, skip the tape removal step for now and proceed to repeat Step 10

through Step 19.

Notice in Figure 9 that the film is removed by pulling rapidly at a right angle to

the base. A quick lifting motion is the best way to remove this film. Be aware that:

• Once the film is removed, immediately install the heatsink.

• The thermal compound must not come in contact with any foreign material.

Caution: Do not remove the heatsink from the processor, once it has been

permanently installed. The phase-change thermal adhesive material cannot be

reused. Remove the plastic film completely from the heatsink during the installation

to avoid causing the processor to overheat and be damaged when power is applied.

Pay strict attention to the procedures outlined in this document to avoid missing a

crucial step.
