Installing the Heatsink

The use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems) are recommended. Con-

nect the heatsink fans to the appropriate fan headers on the serverboard. To install

the heatsinks, please follow the installation instructions included with your heatsink

package (not included).

Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules

Two heatsink retention modules (BKT-0012L) and four screws are included in the

retail box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the heatsinks to the CPUs.

To install, align the module with the standoffs of the preinstalled CPU backplate and

with the four feet on the module contacting the serverboard. Secure the retention

module to the backplate with two of the screws provided. See Figure 2-1. Repeat

for the second CPU socket.

Note: BKT-0012L is included for use with non-Supermicro heatsinks only. When

installing Supermicro heatsinks, only BKT-0011L (the pre-installed CPU backplate)

is needed. The BKT-0012L retention module was designed to provide compatibility

with clip-and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.
