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. Make sure that the heatsink with fan assembly is properly installed on the motherboard. A tilted or improperly installed heatsink with fan assembly can cause damage to motherboard CPU socket and/or CPU. Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink and fan. 1. Place the heatsink with 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! ○○ TIP: Follow the sequence shown: half-tighten the screw on one corner of the heatsink and fan, 2 3 then the next screw on the other corner and so on, making a cross pattern. Repeat until all four 4 1 screws are tightened properly. Make sure heatsink with fan assembly is mounted properly on the CPU to avoid burning the CPU and/or CPU socket. User's Manual 2-7
