Installing the Heatsink
The use of active type heatsinks are recommended. Connect the heatsink fans to
the appropriate fan headers on the serverboard. To install the heatsinks, please
follow the installation instructions included with your heatsink package (not in-
cluded).
Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules
Four heatsink retention modules (BKT-0012L) and eight screws are included in the
retail box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the heatsinks to the CPUs.
To install, align the module with the standoffs of the preinstalled CPU backplate and
with the four feet on the module contacting the serverboard. Secure each retention
module to the backplate with two of the screws provided. See Figure 2-1. Repeat
for the remaining CPU sockets.
Note: BKT-0012L is included for use with non-proprietary heatsinks only. When
installing Super Micro heatsinks, only BKT-0011L (the CPU backplate) is needed.
The BKT-0012L retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip-
and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.
