Installing the CPU heatsink

The Intel ® Xeon™ processors require an Intel certified heatsink to ensure optimum
thermal condition and performance.
Ensure that you have applied the thermal grease to the top of the CPU before
installing the heatsink and fan.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the
installed CPU, making sure that the
four screws on the heatsink align
with the nuts on the support plate.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten
the four heatsink screws in a
diagonal sequence.

other heatsink if you have installed a
second CPU.
4. Turn up the bridge board cover near
the system fan. Position the airduct
on top of the heatsink and carefully
lower it until it fits in place. Recover
the bridge board cover.
