3.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink
When the 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
motherboard labeled FAN1 (see CPU Fan Connector
(CPU_FAN1) on page 13).
CAUTION:
The CPU requires a chassis with an airflow inlet. A spe-
cially-designed CPU fan and heatsink must be installed before
using the motherboard. Failure to install a CPU fan and heat-
sink may damage the system host board and/or the CPU.
