Installation of the Heatsink

CEK Passive Heatsink

Screw#1

Screw#2

Screw#1

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 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 pos-

sible damage to the CPU.)

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening

all four screws.

Screw#2

(Warning:

We do not recommend

that the CPU or the heatsink be
removed. However, if you do need
to uninstall the heatsink, please
follow the instructions below to
uninstall the heatsink to prevent
damage done to the CPU or the
CPU socket.)
