Chapter 2: Chassis Description and Installation Instructions
F. Installing and Uninstalling the Heatsink Mechanism
1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink
or the CPU die; the required amount of thermal
grease 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 (i.e. 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 tightening all four
screws.
Procedures: Heatsink Installation
Heatsinks are heavy. Please handle with care!!
*Note: Be sure to use Heatsink # SNK-P0011 for a UP
system, and use Heatsink #SNK-P0007 for a DP System.
