2.3.3 Installing the CPU heatsink with fan assembly The Intel® Xeon™ processors require especially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan. 1. Place the heatsink and fan assembly on top of the installed CPU, making sure that it fits in the screw holes of the heatsink bracket found at the bottom of the CPU socket. (The heatsink bracket comes factory installed with the motherboard.) 2. Tighten all four (4) screws. Make sure all screws fit properly in place. Take caution in tightening screws. Do not over-tighten screws, doing so may damage the motherboard! 3. When the heatsink and fan assembly is in place, connect the fan cable to the fan connector on the motherboard labeled CPUFAN1. The fan cable plug is slotted so it fits only in one orientation. If it doesn't fit completely, try reversing it. User's Manual 2-7
