The heatsinks shown are only recommendations. Check with your vendor for other
compatible heatsinks if you wish. The procedures shown in this manual are for in-
stalling the AAVID heatsink with fan. The procedures for installing the Elan Vital
heatsink with fan is also similar as that for the AAVID heatsink. The Elan Vital heatsink,
however, comes with a lever to clamp the heatsink into the SEC cartridge. Mount the
heatsink in the orientation shown then flip the lever from "Unlock" to "Lock."
WARNING! Be sure that sufficient air circulation is available across the
processor's heatsink by regularly checking that your CPU fan is working. With-
out sufficient circulation, the processor could overheat and damage both the pro-
cessor and the motherboard. You may install an auxiliary fan, if necessary.
