    5 To position heatsink 
    screws, lightly tighten  
    them (4 lb.-in. or  
    0.452 Nm torque) in 
    order shown, using no 
    more than two turns 
    of driver per screw.
    Note: While 
    positioning screws, 
    keep heatsink level 
    by holding it in 
    place with one hand. 
    Reminder: Hold 
    heatsink by its sides. 
    Never press down 
    on the top of the 
    heatsink.
    6 To secure heatsink 
    to processor, again 
    tighten screws (8 lb.- 
    in. or 0.904 Nm 
    torque) in order 
    shown until they are 
    “finger tight.” Then 
    turn each screw (in 
    order shown) 1/4 turn 
    more.

    First Steps
    Open computer, lay it 
    down with access side 
    facing up, and remove:
    • Processor tray
    Tools
    • ESD wrist strap
    • Long-handled, 
    magnetized 3 mm 
    flathead hex driver
    Processor Heatsink, Quad Core
    Note: This procedure applies to the Mac Pro (Early 2009) quad-core processor configuration. For 
    the 8-core processor configuration, see “Processor Heatsinks, 8 Core.”
    Important: Mac Pro (Early 2009) quad-core processors require thermal grease for proper 
    operation. Every time you remove a processor heatsink, you must replace the thermal grease 
    on the processor below it. New grease and alcohol wipes for cleaning off previous grease are 
    included with new heatsinks, processors, and processor boards.

    Removal
    1 Using hex screwdriver, 
    loosen 5 captive 
    mounting screws in 
    order shown.
    2 Lift heatsink straight 
    up out of enclosure.
    Reassembly
    Important: Do steps 1–3 
    with processor REMOVED 
    from processor board. 
    See “Processor, Quad 
    Core.”
    Every time you remove 
    a processor, even for a 
    few seconds, cover the 
    processor socket with 
    a connector cap. Spare 
    caps are packed with 
    replacement parts.

    1 Using alcohol pad 
    included with 
    replacement part, 
    clean off thermal 
    grease from 
    underside of heatsink 
    and top of processor.
    2 Using syringe of 
    thermal grease 
    included with 
    replacement part, 
    apply narrow bead of 
    grease to processor 
    chip (raised square on 
    top of processor). 
    Apply in pattern 
    illustrated, using 
    approximately 0.2 cc.
    Warning: Do not 
    apply more grease 
    than recommended. 
    Grease must not 
    overflow into 
    processor connector.
    3 Reinstall processor.

    4 Carefully align holes 
    on underside of 
    heatsink with 
    mounting posts in 
    processor board, and 
    lower heatsink 
    straight down onto 
    processor. Double-
    check posts to make 
    sure heatsink is 
    seated properly.
    Warning: Use two 
    hands to hold 
    heatsink by its sides. 
    Be careful of heatsink 
    fins, as they can be 
    sharp. Do not press 
    down on the top of 
    the heatsink.

    grease from 
    underside of heatsink 
    and top of processor.
    Note: Also clean 
    processor frame if 
    necessary.
    Note: You do not need to 
    clean a new replacement 
    processor with alcohol. 
    Instead, just remove the 
    protective cap covering 
    the processor’s connector.
