Creating The Phm - Supermicro X13DEH User Manual

Creating the PHM

After creating the processor carrier assembly, please follow the instructions below to mount
the processor carrier into the heatsink to form the PHM.
Note: If this is a new heatsink, the thermal grease has been pre-applied on the un-
derside. Otherwise, apply the proper amount of thermal grease.
1. Turn the heatsink over with the thermal grease, which is on the reverse side of the
heatsink, facing up. Pay attention to the two triangle cutouts (A, B) located at the
diagonal corners of the heatsink as shown in the drawings below.
2. Hold the processor carrier component side facing up, and locate the triangle on the CPU
and the triangle on the carrier. (Triangle indicates Pin 1.)
3. Using Pin 1 as a guide, turn the processor carrier assembly over with the gold contacts
facing up. Locate Pin 1 (A) on the processor and Pin 1 (a) on the processor carrier
assembly.
4. Align the corner marked a on the processor carrier assembly against the triangle cutout
A on the heatsink, and align the corners marked b, c, and d on the processor assembly
against the corners marked B, C, and D on the heatsinks.
5. Once they are properly aligned, place the corners marked a, b, c, and d on the
processor carrier assembly into the corners of the heatsink marked A, B, C, and D,
making sure that all plastic clips are properly attached to the heatsink.
