Installing a Heatsink
1. With the node removed, remove the air shroud.
2. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required
amount has already been applied.
3. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the motherboard and the heatsink bracket underneath.
4. Screw in two diagonal facing screws until just snug. (To avoid possible dam-
age to the CPU and heatsink, do not over-tighten the screws.)
5. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
6. Reverse the order of this procedure to remove a heatsink.
