Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

If CPU fan installation procedures presented here are inconsistent
with the installation procedures you obtained from the CPU fan
and heatsink package, follow the latter.

To install the CPU fan:

1. Apply thermal grease evenly on top of the installed CPU.

2. Lower the CPU fan to the CPU, then secure it using the

provided attachments or screws.

3. Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on

the SHB labeled FAN2.

2.3

Installing Memory Modules

The NuPRO-E42 supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 1333/1600 MHz
memory modules in two DIMM sockets. A DDR3 module has a
240-pin footprint compared to the legacy 184-pin DDR DIMM.
DDR3 modules are notched to facilitate correct installation in the
DIMM sockets.

WARNING:

The CPU requires a chassis with an airflow inlet and maximum
internal ambient temperature of 50° C. A especially-designed
CPU fan and heatsink must be installed before using the SHB.
Failure to install a CPU fan and heatsink may damage the sys-
tem host board and/or the CPU..

WARNING:

Disconnect all power to the board before installing a memory
module to prevent damaging the board and memory module.
