Installing the Heatsink

Once the processor is installed, the cooling fan-heatsink must be installed on top of the
processor. Each processor requires a heatsink, with its cooling fan attached, and a thermal
interface material (grease) between the processor and the heatsink. The heatsink is
mechanically connected to the processor socket, making contact with processor.
NOTE: Use the heatsinks specified for the processors of different speeds. For more information, refer
to the parts list in Chapter 6, "Parts Identification and Parts List".
1. Remove the heatsink-fan assembly from the shipping container, and remove the thermal
interface protected cover. Be sure you do not touch the thermal interface material on the
bottom of the heatsink.
NOTE: The thermal interface material should not be reused.
2. Align the heatsink mounting bracket to the holes around the processor socket.
3. Use the two screws to lock the bracket.
4. Repeat the process to mount the other bracket. Refer to Figure 2-17.
