2-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure
on the label area of the fan.
IMPORTANT:
Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
Note:
The CPU heatsink fan with clips is included only with the retail versions of
the P4SPA+/P4SPE. If you buy a boxed Intel Pentium 4 478/Northwood processor,
it should include a heatsink, fan and retention mechanism. If you buy a processor
separately, use only a Super Micro or Intel certifi ed heatsink and fan.
Installation of the Processor and Heatsink
1. Locate the following components included in the shipping package.

Bracket (1)

2. Insert the white pegs into the black anchors. Do
not force the white pegs all the way in - about 1/3 of
the white pegs should be inside the black anchors.
(These are used for chassis that do not have four
CPU retention holes.)
3. Place a retention bracket in the proper position and
secure it by pressing two pegs into the retention holes
until you hear a click sound which indicates that the peg
is locked and secured.
