Installing the Fan/Heatsink
Once you have installed the CPU, you must install a
Fan/Heatsink assembly. The Fan/Heatsink clips onto to
the CPU socket.
Prepare the Heatsink
Before you install the Fan/Heatsink you must prepare
the Fan/Heatsink assembly. The heatsink has a patch of

the tape before you install the Fan/Heatsink assembly.
To remove the plastic cover, just pull it off. To remove
the tape do as follows:
1. Hold the free end of the tape at a 90° to the surface
of the heatsink. Pull the tape off with a smooth
quick movement that removes the tape only and
not the underlying thermal interface material.
