Pre-installation Notes
a. The MCX159-CU ships with 4 small neoprene pads. These are used for two purposes: stabilize the heatsink, and minimize the risk of
damaging the processor core upon installation. These pads must be removed when installed on chipsets protected by a heat spreader. Below
are examples or when to use the pads, and when NOT to use the pads:
