Heatsink Installation

1. Do not apply any thermal compound

to the heatsink or the CPU die; the re-

quired amount has already been ap-

plied.

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 (ie

the #1 and the #2 screws) until just

snug (do not fully tighten the screws

to avoid possible damage to the CPU).

4. Finish the installation by fully tight-

ening all four screws.

Pin 1

2. Insert the CPU in the socket, mak-

ing sure that pin 1 of the CPU aligns

with pin 1 of the socket (both cor-

ners are marked with a triangle).

When using only one CPU, install it

into CPU socket #1 (socket #2 is au-

tomatically disabled if only one CPU

is used).

3. Press the lever down until

y o u h e a r t h e * c l i c k * . T h i s

means that the CPU is securely

installed in the CPU socket.
