Warning : Please save the plastic
PnP cap. The motherboard must be
shipped with the PnP cap properly
installed to protect the CPU socket
pins. Shipment without the PnP cap
properly installed will cause dam-
age to the socket pins.
Plastic cap is re-
leased from the load
plate if CPU properly
installed.

Installing the Heatsink
1. Connect the heatsink fan wiring to
the "CPU FAN" header on the moth-
erboard.
2. Position the heatsink in such a way
that the heatsink fan wires are closely
routed to the CPU fan and do not inter-
fere with other components.
3. Inspect the CPU fan wires to make
sure that the wires are routed through
the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the protec-
tive fi lm from the copper core of the
heatsink. Warning: the CPU may over-
heat if the protective fi lm is not removed
from the heatsink.
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal
grease on the CPU. (If your heatsink
came with a thermal pad, please ignore
this step.)
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires so
that they are not pinched between the
heatsink and the CPU. Also make sure
there is clearance between the fan
wires and the fi ns of the heatsink.
