key (the semi-circle cutouts) with the socket keys.
4. Once aligned, carefully place the processor into the socket. Do not drop the processor
on the socket, move or rub the processor against the socket or against any socket pins,
which may damage the components.

Installing a Heatsink
A passive type heatsink is used on the X11SSH-F.
Note: Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount
has already been applied.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with
those on the heatsink retention mechanism.
2. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until they are just snug.
Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.
