Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink
1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required
amount has already been applied.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned
with those on the serverboard's and the heatsink bracket underneath.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (to
avoid possible damage to the CPU do not over-tighten the screws.)
4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
