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 can be seen between the thermal pad of the heatsink and the SEC car-
tridge.
IMPORTANT: The heatsinks must not be more than 2.8 cm (1.1 inch) thick.

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.

you hear a click (the preceding picture shows the locks in the outward position
