CPU Heat Sinks
The use of active type heat sinks are recommended. Connect the heat sink fans to
the appropriate fan headers on the serverboard.
Installing the Heat Sink
1.
Do not apply any thermal grease to the
heat sink or the CPU die; the required
amount has already been applied.
2.
Place the heat sink on top of the CPU so
that the two mounting holes are aligned
with those on the retention mechanism.
Also, the the heat pipes of all four heat
sinks (visible on one side of the heat
sink) should face toward the edge of the
serverboard.
3.
Screw in both screws until just snug. (Do
not over-tighten the screws, which may
damage the CPU.)
4.
After checking that the heat sink is sit-
ting level on the CPU, fully tighten the
twoscrews.
