and hook the stainless steel sheets under the plastic noses of the socket.
Avoid the cooler to get stuck, since this will risk a corner of the die to
break off. Do not hook in one side after the other!

Should be more than four feathers included in the screw set, please use
the four „softer“ feathers.
With the so-called four-hole-mounting kit the cuplex is fixed directly on
the motherboard with four screws and pressure springs which are used
as screw springs. Therefore you have to fasten the four screws first. For
that purpose detach your motherboard from the
computer case. In P4- and Xeon-systems the
mostly black plastic mounting for air-coolers
has to be removed from the motherboard to re-
veal the necessary drill holes on it. Next slide a
plastic washer over one of the supplied stainless
steel M4 screws which you then put through the
holes adjacent to the socket from below. Slide
another plastic washer over the screw from above the motherboard and
then screw on one of the supplied stainless steel M4 nuts up to the limit
by hand. The screw should now be fixed to the board like a standing
bolt. Do the same with the three other screws. Now the cuplex can care-
fully and slowly be put onto the standing bolts. Slowly slide it down until
it rests on the prepared core of the processor, without getting it stuck.
To protect the Plexiglas of the cuplex from getting scratched slide anoth-
er washer over each screw. Now put one of the supplied springs over
each of the standing bolts.
Screw one of the supplied knurled nuts
on each screw about 2 turns, so it just
grips. For fastening the springs, take
turns in fastening two knurled nuts at a
time placed opposite of each other diag-
onally. During this process make sure
that the spring coils do not touch each
other, since this can cause inadmissible
high forces to build up. The spring has to
