Removing the mainboard
In case you want to use the cooler on an assembled system and
your case doesn’t have a cut-out at the rear side of the mainboard
tray, you first have to remove the mainboard from the case in
order to be able to install the supplied backplate.
Step 1
2x NM-IMB2 Mounting Bars
1x NM-IBP2 Backplate
4x NM-ITS1 Thumbscrews
4x NM-IPS1 Spacers
Place the backplate on the rear side of the mainboard so that the
bolts stick through the mounting holes.
Caution: Please make sure that the three cut-outs in the
supplied backplate align with the screws of the mainboard’s stock
backplate.
Installing the mounting bars
Caution: Choose the alignment of the mounting bars according to
the desired final orientation of the cooler:
Step 3
First put the plastic spacers onto the bolts of the backplate, then
add the mounting bars.
Attaching the backplate
Caution: The supplied backplate will install over the mainboard’s
stock backplate, so the mainboard’s stock backplate must not be
taken off.
