2. Mount the Heatsink: Place the SEC cartridge face down on a flat surface and lay
the heatsink flush on the back (metal side) of the SEC cartridge. Be sure that the
heatsink is firmly pressed against the SEC cartridge. When correctly installed,
no light must be showing through between the thermal pad of the heatsink and
the SEC cartridge.
WARNING! If the heatsink is not mounted tightly against the SEC cartridge,
the CPU will overheat. You may install an auxiliary fan to provide adequate
circulation across the processor’s passive heatsink.
