Heatsink Installation

*

1. Do not apply any thermal compound to the heatsink or the CPU die; the

required amount has already been applied.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are

aligned with those on the retention mechanism.

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (e.g. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just

snug (do not fully tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU).

Screw in the two remaining screws until snug (see Figure 5-2).

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

*The heatsink is an optional item that is sold separately (p/n SNK-P0009).

*Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see page 7-17).
