Dear customer,
Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-D9 DX-3647 4U.
Our DX line of coolers has become a default choice in high perfor-
mance quiet cooling solutions for Intel Xeon CPUs and the latest
DX-3647 revision supports LGA3647 (both Square and Narrow ILM)
based Xeon platforms. Each Noctua product is double checked for
flawless operation by our quality control team before it leaves the
factory and I’m confident that you will be able to sense some of
the research, attention and care we’ve put into making this product.
Enjoy your NH-D9 DX-3647 4U!
Yours sincerely,

This manual will guide you through the installation process of the
SecuFirm2™ mounting system step by step.
Prior to installing the cooler, please consult the compatibility list
on our website (www.noctua.at/compatibility) and verify that the
cooler is fully compatible with your motherboard. Please also make
sure that your PC case offers sufficient clearance for the cooler and
that there are no compatibility issues with any other components
(e.g. tall RAM modules). Double check that the heatsink and fan
clips do not make contact with the VGA card or other PCIe cards.
Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage or losses caused
by compatibility issues.
Should you encounter any difficulties, please check the FAQs on
our website (www.noctua.at/faqs) and don’t hesitate to contact
our support team at [email protected].

heatsink and ensures that it is properly inserted into the socket.
There are different clips for square and narrow type sockets. Please
first select the clip that matches your socket type.
