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.

aligned with those on the serverboard 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.
