2. Insert the CPU in the socket,
making sure that pin 1 of the CPU
aligns with pin 1 of the socket
(both corners are marked with a
triangle). When using only one
CPU, install it into CPU socket #1
(Socket #2 is automatically disabled
if only one CPU is used).
3. Press the lever down until
you hear the *click* so you
can be sure that the CPU is
securely installed in the CPU
socket.
Heatsink Installation
1. Do not apply any thermal grease to
the heatsink or the CPU die; the required
amount of thermal grease has already
been applied.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting holes
are aligned with those on the retention
mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (ie
the #1 and the #2 screws) until just
snug (-do not fully tighten the screws
to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)
4. Finish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.
Note: heatsinks are heavy - please
handle them with care.
To Uninstall the Heatsink
Caution!
We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be
removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow
the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the CPU socket.
