Installing the Heatsinks

A heatsink should be installed to each processor. You will have to remove the air

shroud to install. See Figure 5-1.

You may be using the manufacturer's optional heatsinks (part number SNK-P0012)

or those from a third party. To install the heatsinks, please follow the installation

instructions included with your heatsink package.
