4 478/Northwood Processor requires a specially

designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition

assembly on top of the
installed CPU with the
heatsink fins directed towards
the rear I/O ports, and that the

motherboard .

Align one retention bracket
with the rail on the side of the
fan. Orient the bracket with the
locking lever beside the DIMM
sockets.
