Installing the Heatsink(s)

Note: The heatsink has thermal interface material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use caution
when handling the heatsink so you do not damage the TIM.
Each processor requires a heatsink. Depending on your chassis, you may need to use
either a passive or an active heatsink. An active heatsink has a fan attached to the top of it
and a cable that needs to be connected to the server board. The following table shows the
®
Intel server chassis compatible with this server board and whether each chassis requires
an active or a passive heatsink:
