4. Once aligned, carefully place the processor into the socket. Do not drop the processor
on the socket, move or rub the processor against the socket or against any socket pins,
which may damage the components.
5. With the processor inserted into the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make
sure that it is properly installed and flush with the socket.
6. Carefully press the processor load lever down until it locks into its retention tab.
Installing a Heatsink
A passive type heatsink is used on the X11SSW-F.
Note:
Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount
has already been applied.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with
those on the heatsink retention mechanism.
2.
Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until they are just snug.
Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.
3.
Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all four
screws (be careful not to overtighten).
