2.3.3 Installing the heatsink and airduct The AMD Opteron™ 64 processors require a specially designed heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. Make sure that you use only qualified heatsink assembly. To install the CPU heatsink: 1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the heatsink screw holes match with the support plate stand offs. 2. Secure the heatsink with two screws. Make sure that the heatsink is not skewed or tilted; otherwise, the CPU will overheat. 3. If you installed a second processor, repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second heatsink.
