2.3.2 Installing the heatsink

The AMD Opteron™ 2000 series processors require a specially designed

heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink.

1. Place the heatsink on top of the

installed CPU, making sure that

the screw holes are matched

with the heatsink standoffs.

Make sure that you use only qualified heatsink assembly.

2. Secure the heatsink with two

screws.

Make sure that the heatsink

is not skewed or tilted

otherwise, the CPU will

overheat.

3. If you installed a second

processor, repeat steps 1-2 to

install the second heatsink.
