Caution!

When installing a CPU heatsink and
cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT
scratch the motherboard or any of the
surface-mount resistors with the clip of
the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling
fan scrapes across the mainboard, you
may cause serious damage to both the
mainboard and the processor.

On most mainboards, there are small
surface-mount resistors near the proces-
sor socket, which may be damaged if the
cooling fan is carelessly installed.

Avoid using cooling fans with sharp
edges on the fan casing and the clips.
Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit
work area so that you can clearly see the
mainboard and processor socket.
