Support kits for the motherboard

For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU

heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that you can use as

weight support. Install the CEK springs if you want to install a new motherboard.

To install the CEK spring:
1. Locate the CPU heatsink holes on

the motherboard.

Heatsink hole

Socket for CPU1

Socket for CPU2

Hook

Each CEK spring has four hooks to match the

designated holes around the CPU area.

If your chassis is SSI EEB 3.61 compliant, we recommend that you use the CEK

springs; otherwise, use the support plates kit.

2. Position the CEK spring underneath

the motherboard, then match the

CEK spring hooks to the CPU1

heatsink holes.
