Hardware Installation
5. Once the CPU is in place, push down the lever to lock the
socket. The lever should click on the side tab to indicate that
the CPU is completely secured in the socket.
2.3.3 Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heatsink.
Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink,
the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
•
Only use Intel
®
certified fan and heat sink.
•
An Intel
®
boxed processor package contains a retention
mechanism, heat sink, fan and installation guide. If the instal-
lation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one
in this section, please follow the installation guide in the
package.
•
If you are installing a non-boxed processor, the heat sink, fan
and retention mechanism assembly may look different from
the one shown in this section but the procedure will more or
less be the same.
