AMD Socket AM3+ processor socket
so that both are aligned, then carefully
place the CPU into the socket.
Caution: Do not drop the CPU on the socket,
move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub
the CPU against the socket or against any pins
of the socket otherwise you may damage the
CPU and/or the socket.
Installing the Heatsinks
We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any
onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow
the installation instructions that are included with your heatsink package.
