IMPORTANT:
Always connect the power cord last and always remove it
before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make
sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket
before
you install
the CPU heatsink.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the weight of the CEK Passive Heatsink (which
weights about 1KG), you need to have Heatsink Mounting plate installed on
the chassis to prevent damage to the CPU and the motherboard)
