Hardware Installation

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink

The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufcient

air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both

the CPU and system board.

Note:

• Use only certied fan and heat sink.

• Your fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and heat sink

assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the

installation guide differs from the one in this section, please follow the

installation guide in the package.

1. On the solder side of the board, match the retention module base to the

mounting holes around the CPU socket.

2. Turn to the component side of the board making sure the retention module

base is positioned and tted properly under the board.

3. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste on top of the CPU. Do not spread the

paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top, the

compound will disperse evenly.
