Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the re-

quired amount has already been applied.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are

aligned with those on the Motherboard's and the Heatsink Bracket under-

neath.

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

(-do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)

4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

Mounting Holes

Note: For optimized airow, please follow your chassis airow direction

to install the correct CPU heatsink direction. Graphic drawings included

in this manual are for reference only. They might look different from the

components installed in your system
