Figure 5-2: IEI Cooling Kit
An IEI AMD Socket AM2 CPU cooling kit (Figure 5-2) can be purchased separately. The
cooling kit comprises a CPU heat sink and a cooling fan. To install the cooling kit, please
follow the steps below.
Step 1: Spread a proper amount of thermal paste onto the bottom of the cooling fan
heat sink. The thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink is important for
optimum heat dissipation.
Step 2: Properly orient the cooling kit. Be sure the cooling kit is properly oriented
before installing the cooling kit into the preinstalled cooling kit bracket.
Step 3: Install the cooling kit into the preinstalled cooling kit bracket. See Figure
5-3.
Step 4: Attach the levered mounting clips. Slip the four levered mounting clips into
the clip holes on the cooling kit bracket. See Figure 5-3.
Step 5: Secure the cooling kit in place. Gently push the plastic mounting clip down to
lock the cooling kit. See Figure 5-3.
