1. Look for a piece of thermal pad in the wiring bag, in the "Screen and Bits" case. It is a piece with an approximate size of 60 x 20 mm, gray on one side and blue on the other.

4. Remove the blue protective sheet from the 3 smaller pieces and glue them to the inner side of the thermal block, the one that makes contact with the RPi4. You'll recognize it because it has 3 small rectangular islands that fit the size of the 3 smaller pieces you cut out. You can use your finger to press the thermal pad and stick it. Use your fingernail to cut off the excess, if any.

5. Take 4 x ISO7380 M2.5 screws. They are the smaller ones with rounded head.

6. After this, remove the transparent protective sheet from the 3 pieces of thermal pad and fixate the RBPi4 compute module to the thermal block using the 4 x ISO7380 M2.5 screws.

7. Finally, stick the remaining piece of thermal pad (27 x 20 mm) on the contact surface in the external side of the thermal block. That is, on top of the "tower" with 2 tiny holes. Follow the same procedure you already did with the 3 smaller pieces, but don't remove the transparent protective sheet yet.
