Installling the CPU heatsink and fan

The processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure
optimum thermal condition and performance. When you buy a boxed processor,
the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
NOTE: Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan
and heatsink assembly
NOTE: If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only certified
multi‑directional heatsink and fan and make sure that a Thermal Interface
Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install
the heatsink and fan assembly.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on
the motherboard.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time
in a diagonal sequence to secure the
heatsink and fan assembly in place.
