DO NOT forget to connect
the CPU fan connector!
Hardware monitoring error
can occur if you fail to plug
this connector.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU.
2. Attach one end of the retention bracket to the retention module
base.
3. Align the other end of the retention bracket (near the retention
bracket lock) to the retention module base. A clicking sound denotes
that the retention bracket is in place.
4. Push down the retention bracket lock on the retention mechanism to
secure the heatsink and fan to the module base.
5. When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan
cable to the connector on the motherboard.
Make sure that the fan and heatsink assembly perfectly fits the
retention mechanism module base, otherwise you cannot snap the
retention bracket in place.
