Creating the PHM
After creating the CPU carrier assembly, please follow the instructions below to mount the
CPU 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 drawing below.
2. Hold the CPU 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 CPU carrier assembly over with the gold contacts facing
up. Locate Pin 1 (A) on the processor and Pin 1 (a) on the CPU carrier assembly.
4. Align the corner marked a on the CPU 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 CPU
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.
