Installing Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; if it has already

been applied.

If Heatsink thermal paste is not already applied to heatsinks this must

be done now.

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.)

Figure 28:

Heatsink diagonal screw locations

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

5. Repeat the steps for the second heatsink if required.
