Xeon™ processors require an Intel certified or ASUS qualified

heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and

performance.
When you buy a boxed Intel CPU, the package includes the heatsink, fan,

retention brackets, screws, thermal grease, installation manual, and other

items that are necessary for CPU installation.

2.3.2 Installing the CPU heatsink and fan

the CPU before installing the heatsink and fan.

• Refer to the installation manual that came with the CPU package for

details on heatsink/fan assembly and installation.

• For installation instruction of optional ASUS qualified CPU heatsink

and fan assembly, refer to section 3.2.

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

installed CPU, making sure that

align with the nuts on the support
