Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules
Two heatsink retention modules (BKT-0005) and four screws are included in the
retail box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the heatsinks to the CPUs.
To install, position the module so that the CPU backplate standoffs insert through the
holes on the heatsink retention module and the four feet on the module contact the
serverboard. Secure the retention module to the backplate with two of the screws
provided. See Figure 2-1. Repeat for the second CPU socket.
Note: BKT-0005 is included for use with non-proprietary (third-party) heatsinks only.
When installing Supermicro heatsinks, only BKT-0004 (CPU backplate) is needed.
The BKT-0005 retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip-
and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.
