Installing A Cpu Heatsink - Supermicro SuperO X8DTL-3 User Manual

Installing a CPU Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal
grease to the heatsink or the
CPU die because the required
amount has already been ap-
plied.
2. Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on
the retention mechanism.
3. Install two diagonal screws (ie
the #1 and the #2 screws) and
tighten them until just snug (-do
not fully tighten the screws to
avoid possible damage to the
CPU.)
4. Finish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.
