Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1. Apply the proper amount of thermal grease (with thickness of up to 0.13 mm)
to the heatsink.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the two mounting holes on the
heatsink are aligned with those on the retention mechanism.
3. Insert two push-pins on the sides of the heatsink through the mounting holes
on the motherboard, and turn the push-pins clockwise to lock them.

Warning: You can only install the
CPU inside the socket in one direc-
tion. Make sure that it is properly
inserted into the CPU socket before
closing the load plate. If it doesn't
close properly, do not force it as it
may damage your CPU. Instead,
open the load plate again and dou-
ble-check that the CPU is aligned
properly.
