Installing the Cooling Fan
After the CPU has been installed, you will need to
install the proper cooling device
for the CPU. This
device, a heatsink/cooling fan combination, can be purchased from many computer technology vendors.
Connection of the cooling device may vary depending on the fan manufacturer’s design. You should take
space into consideration when installing a cooling device into the CPU1 and/or CPU2 socket(s). Tyan
highly recommends
that you use some type of thermal compound between the CPU and heatsink, to
maximize cooling. Please take extra caution when installing any kind of clamp-style fan, or else damage
may occur to the CPU socket. See
Figure 2.3
for an example of how the fan power connector is installed.
