heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel

The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of S7040.
1. If a protective film covers the thermal
interface material (TIM) on the underside of the
heatsink, remove the protective film.
2. Align heatsink fins to the front and back of
the chassis for correct airflow. Airflow goes
from front-to-back of chassis.
3. Each heatsink has four captive fasteners
and should be tightened as shown
4. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, finger-
tighten each fastener diagonally, according to
the white-circled numbers.
5. Securely re-tighten each fastener again in
the same order as performed in Step 4.
6. Attach fan power cable to server board as
shown.
7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you
removed or disconnected to reach the
processor sockets.
