against threaded fasteners "b", "c", "d" on the CPU socket, making sure that all peek
nuts on the heatsink are properly aligned with the correspondent threaded fasteners on
the CPU socket.
2. Once they are aligned, gently place the heatsink on top the CPU socket, making sure
that each peek nut is properly attached to its corresponding threaded fastener.
