Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink After installing the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. It also needs to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
Appendix B Installing the Memory Modules (DIMM) The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. For more information about DIMM installation, please refer to the User Manual that comes with the serverboard you use.
