Chapter 2: Installation<br />

Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink<br />

1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the required<br />

amount has already been applied.<br />

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are<br />

aligned with those on the Motherboard's and the Heatsink Bracket underneath.<br />

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug<br />

(-do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)<br />

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.<br />

Notes: 1. For optimized airflow, please follow your chassis airflow direction<br />

to install the correct CPU heatsink direction. 2. Graphic drawings<br />

included in this manual are for reference only. They might look different<br />

from the components installed in your system.<br />
