Installing a Heatsink (Example)
1. Place the heat sink 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.
3. Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all four
screws (be careful not to overtighten).
