7. Install a fan sink onto the microprocessor and connect the fan-sink power cable to the system board by doing the following: Terminator card VRM 2 (J12) Microprocessor fan 2 (J2) Microprocessor Fan sink Microprocessor fan 1 (J3 ) VRM 1 (J42) Fan-sink retainer a. Peel the plastic protective strip off the bottom of the fan sink. Make sure that the square of the thermal material is still on the bottom of the fan sink. b. Align and place the fan sink on top of the microprocessor. Note: Set the fan sink into place. Make sure the fan sink guide rib fits between the processor and the processor socket. c.
