Chapter 2: Chassis Description and Installation Instructions
F. Installing and Un-installing 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 (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 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.

heatsink!!)
3. Once the CPU is loosened from the
heatsink, remove the heatsink from the CPU
socket.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the
heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease.
Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease
on the surface before you re-install the CPU
and the heatsink.
