Heatsink / cooler
System board
Note:
The standard package includes a fanless heatsink. The heatsink with fan is an optional item
available upon request.
Please make sure the contacting sides of the
heat spreader and the module are correct —
the CPU side of the module shall be facing the
interface metal side and legs of the heat sink.
Rotate horozontally so the interface metal sits
right on top of the CPU, and align the screw
holes on the heatsink to those on the module.
Remove any plastic cover on the interface
metal and apply thermal paste/adhesive if it is
required.
Optional: Connect the CPU fan cable to the
CPU fan connector on the top side of the mod-
ule. This step can be omitted if it is a fanless
heatsink.
Screw the stand-offs onto the chassis. This
step can be omitted if there exist pre-installed
stand-offs on the chassis.
