Installing The Cpu Heatsink And Fan - Asus NCCH-DL User Manual

2.3.3 Installing the CPU heatsink and fan

The Intel ® Xeon™ processors require an Intel certified heatsink and fan
assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
When you buy a boxed Intel CPU, the package includes the heatsink, fan,
retention brackets, screws, thermal grease, installation manual, and other
items that are necessary for CPU installation.
1. Make sure that you have applied the thermal grease to the top of
the CPU before installing the heatsink and fan.
2. Refer to the installation manual that came with the CPU package
for details on heatsink/fan assembly and installation.

definition of your CPU fan cables. Refer to page 2-24 for information
on these jumpers.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the
installed CPU, making sure that
the four screws on the heatsink
align with the nuts on the support
plate.
