Hardware Setup

 

 

AW9D-MAX, AW9D 

2-11 

8.  Place the heatsink and fan assembly 

onto the socket. Align the four fasteners 
toward the four mounting holes on the 
motherboard. 

 

9.  Press each of the four fasteners down 

into the mounting holes. Rotate the 
fastener clock-wise to lock the heatsink 
and fan assembly into position. 

 

10. Attach the four-pin power plug from the 

heatsink and fan assembly to the CPU 
FAN connector. 

 

 

※ 

The installation procedures vary with different types of CPU fan-and-heatsink 
assembly. The one shown here is served for demo only. For detailed information 
on how to install the one you bought, refer to its installation guidelines. 

※ 

A higher fan speed will be helpful for better airflow and heat-dissipation. 
Nevertheless, stay alert to touch any heatsink since the high temperature 
generated by the working system is still possible.
