that pin 1 of the CPU aligns with pin 1 of
the socket (both corners are marked with a

into CPU socket #1 (Socket #2 is automati-
cally 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
Note: Heatsinks are heavy, please handle with care.
1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the
heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount
of thermal grease

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.
