Creating The Phm - Supermicro X13SET-PT User Manual

Creating the PHM

After creating the processor carrier assembly, follow the instructions below to mount the
processor carrier into the heatsink to form the PHM.
Note: If this is a new heatsink, the thermal grease has been pre-applied on the un-
derside. Otherwise, apply the proper amount of thermal grease.
1. Turn the heatsink over with the thermal grease, which is on the reverse side of the
heatsink, facing up.
2. With the processor gold contacts facing up, locate the triangle on the CPU and the
triangle on the carrier. (Triangle indicates Pin 1.)
3. Follow the illustration to align corners A, B, C, and D of the heatsink with corners a, b,
c, and d of the processor carrier assembly.
4. Once they are properly aligned, place the corners marked a, b, c, and d on the
processor carrier assembly into the corners of the heatsink marked A, B, C, and D.
Ensure that all plastic clips are properly attached to the heatsink.
