Step 1

Clean the Raspberry Pi CPU and heatsink with isopropyl alcohol.

Peel one side of the plastic.

Stick the thermal pad onto the CPU.

Peel the other side of the plastic.

 

 

Step 3

Press the hex nuts into the bottom plate.

 

 

Step 4

Put the Raspberry Pi onto the bottom plate. Align the corners. Then put the heatsink and top bracket on the Raspberry Pi. Align corners.

 

 

Step 5

Put in the screws in from the top through the top frame all the way down. You might need to wiggle the screws a little to slide it in all the way through.

Screw down the screws. Don’t over tighten. Screw down until there is no gap between the top frame, Raspberry Pi board and bottom plate.

Stick the rubber feet on to the bottom plate.

Inspect each side to make sure everything looks right. Done!
