Installing the CPU heatsink

The Intel

®

Xeon™ processors require an Intel certified heatsink to ensure optimum

thermal condition and performance.

Ensure that you have applied the thermal grease to the top of the CPU before

installing the heatsink and fan.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the

installed CPU, making sure that the

four screws on the heatsink align

with the nuts on the support plate.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten

the four heatsink screws in a

diagonal sequence.
