Hardware Installation
2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 screws around the
heat sink must match the screw holes of the retention module
base. Refer to the figure below for the correct position of the
heat sink. This is important so that the fan / heat sink will pro-
vide adequate cooling to the components of the system board.
Turn each Phillips head screw half way down first to initially stabi-
lize the heat sink onto the system board, then finally tighten each
screw.
Important:
Do not turn the first screw all the way down followed by
the next and so on. This is to avoid imbalance which might
cause cracks or fractures to the CPU and/or heat sink as-
sembly.
