Step 1: Install the Baseboard

A metal baseboard is required to install the heatsink to the motherboard. A rubber pad is placed between the metal board and motherboard to provide insulation to prevent shorting.

Align the rubber pad over the metal baseboard so that the holes match. Align the motherboard over the rubber pad and metal baseboard so that the screws on the baseboard match up with the motherboard’s screw holes.
