Heatsink Installation

!

IMPORTANT: Due to the weight of the Passive Heatsink (about 1KG), you

need to have Heatsink Mounting plate installed on the chassis to prevent

damage to the CPU and the motherboard)

1. Do not apply any thermal compound to	Passive Heatsink
the heatsink or the CPU die-the required
amount has already been applied.

2.Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the retention mechanism.

Screw#1 Screw#2

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (ie the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (-do not fully tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)

4.Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

(*Note: The CPU heatsink shown in the picture above is for display only. Your heatsink may or may not look exactly the same as the one shown in the graphic above.)
