Heatsink Installation
1. Do not apply any thermal compound
to the heatsink or the CPU die-the re-
quired amount has already been ap-
plied.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU
so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the retention
mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (ie
the #1 and the #2 screws) until just
snug (-do not fully tighten the screws
to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)
4. Finish the installation by fully tight-
ening all four screws.

2. Insert the CPU in the socket, mak-
ing sure that pin 1 of the CPU aligns
with pin 1 of the socket (both cor-
ners are marked with a triangle).
When using only one CPU, install it
into CPU socket #1 (socket #2 is au-
tomatically disabled if only one CPU
is used).
3. Press the lever down until
you hear the *click* so you can
be sure that the CPU is se-
c u r e l y i n s t a l l e d i n t h e C P U
