Assembling The Processor Heatsink Module - Supermicro SuperWorkstation SYS-751A-I User Manual

Assembling the Processor Heatsink Module

Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.
If this is a re-installation, apply the proper amount of thermal grease to the underside of the
heatsink.
Assembling the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)
1. Turn the heatsink over with the thermal grease facing up. Pay attention to the two
triangle cutouts (A, B) located at the diagonal corners of the heatsink as shown in the
drawing below.
2. Hold the processor carrier assembly upside-down to locate the triangles on the
processor and the carrier, which indicate pin 1.

3. Turn the processor carrier assembly over so that the gold pins are facing up. Locate the
two pin 1 locations ("A" on the processor and "a" on the processor carrier assembly).
4. Align "a" on the processor carrier assembly with the triangular cutout "A" on the heatsink
along with "b", "c", "d" on the processor assembly with "B", "C", "D" on the heatsink.
5. Once properly aligned, place the heatsink on the processor carrier assembly with all
corners matched up, making sure that the four clips are properly securing the heatsink.
