2.3 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink
When the CPU fan installation procedures presented here are
inconsistent with the installation procedures you obtained from the
CPU fan and heatsink package, follow the latter.
To install the CPU fan:
1. Apply thermal grease evenly on top of the installed CPU.
2. Lower the CPU fan to the CPU, then secure it using the
provided attachments or screws.
3. Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on
the SHB labeled FAN2 (See “Board Layout” on
page 16.).
2.4 Installing Memory Modules
The NuPRO-E72 supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 ECC 1333/1600
MHz memory modules in two DIMM sockets. A DDR3 ECC
module has a 240-pin footprint compared to the legacy 184-pin
DDR DIMM. DDR3 ECC modules are notched to facilitate correct
installation in the DIMM sockets.
CAUTION:
The CPU requires a chassis with an airflow inlet and maximum
internal ambient temperature of 50° C. A especially-designed
CPU fan and heatsink must be installed before using the SHB.
Failure to install a CPU fan and heatsink may damage the sys-
tem host board and/or the CPU.
WARNING:
Disconnect all power to the board before installing a memory
module to prevent damaging the board and memory module.
