Chapter 4 Heatsink Installation

This chapter contains instructions for the installation of the AMD Opteron™ processor heatsink.

The AMD Opteron processor heatsink requires the retention frame and the backplate to be attached to the motherboard. If the retention frame and backplate are already attached to the motherboard, proceed to step 10. Figure 5 shows the backplate and retention frame for the AMD Opteron processor heatsink. The heatsink assembly shown in Figure 5 may not exactly match the one provided in a PIB.

4.1Heatsink Installation Procedure

Follow the instructions to install the AMD Opteron processor heatsink.

CAUTION: As with all computer equipment, the processor and motherboard components may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please take proper ESD precautions when handling any board.

Warning: Do not apply voltage until the heatsink is fully installed. If voltage is applied before the heatsink is fully installed, the processor will overheat and failure will result. Read through the entire installation instructions completely to make sure you understand them before you begin.

1.Place the backplate on a flat surface.

2.Peel the release liner off the backplate. (See Figure 6 on page 20.)
