carefully place the CPU into the

any pins of the socket, which

properly installed and fl ush with

Installing the Heatsinks
We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any
onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow
the installation instructions that are included with your heatsink package.
Note: Make sure the heatsink is placed so that the fi ns of the heatsink are in the
direction of the airfl ow in your system.
