Installing The Processor Heatsink Module (Phm) - Supermicro X12DPFR-AN6 User Manual

Installing the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)

1. Align peek nut "A", which is next to the triangle (Pin 1) on the heatsink, against threaded
fastener "a" on the CPU socket. Then align peek nuts "B", "C", "D" on the heatsink
against threaded fasteners "b", "c", "d" on the CPU socket, making sure that all peek
nuts on the heatsink are properly aligned with the correspondent threaded fasteners on
the CPU socket.
2. Once they are aligned, gently place the heatsink on top of the CPU socket, making sure
that each peek nut is properly attached to its corresponding threaded fastener.
3. Press all four rotating wires outwards and make sure that the heatsink is securely
latched onto the CPU socket.

4. With a T30-bit screwdriver, tighten all peek nuts in the sequence of "A", "B", "C", and
"D" with even pressure. To avoid damaging the processor or socket, do not use a force
greater than 12 lbf-in when tightening the screws.
5. Examine all corners of the heatsink to ensure that the PHM is firmly attached to the
CPU socket.
