Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
Installing a CPU Heatsink
1.Remove power from the system and unplug the AC power cord from the power supply.
2.Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount has already been applied.
3.Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the (preinstalled) heatsink retention mechanism.
4.Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug. Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.)
5.Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
