2.2.3Support kits for the motherboard

For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that you can use as weight support. Install the CEK springs before installing the motherboard.

If your chassis is SSI CEB 1.1 compliant, we recommend that you use the CEK springs; otherwise, use the support plates kit.

Each CEK spring has four hooks to match the designated holes around the CPU area.
