Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink (#SNK-P0037)
Heatsink Bracket (BKT-0023L, for
screw-type heatsink only.)
1. If you use a screw-type heatsink,
please install a heatsink bracket
(BKT-0023L) on the reverse side of
the motherboard before installing
the heatsink. (To install the heatsink
bracket, please insert four screws
to the mounting holes to secure the
bracket on the motherboard.) If you
do not use a screw-type heatsink,
please skip this step.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU
so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the bracket
now located underneath.
3. Install two diagonal screws (i.e.,
the #1 and the #2 screws) until se-
cure. However, leave each loosely
tightened until all four screws are
in place.
Note: A heatsink bracket (BKT-
0023L) is required for a screw-type
heatsink (-which is a non-pushpin
heatsink as shown on the right.)
The required heatsink bracket
(BKT-0023L) can be purchased
from Supermicro.
Install the Heatsink Bracket on the
reverse side of the board.
Note: Do not apply any thermal
grease to the heatsink or the CPU
die because the required amount
has already been applied.
