Appendix A Heat Sink Installation Instructions
It is necessary for the Intel
®
 Core
TM
 2 Duo processor to have a thermal solution 
attached to it in order to keep it within its operating temperature.
A heat sink is included in the kit. To install the heat sink:
1. Remove the heatsink from its package and separate the fan heatsink portion from 
the heatsink backplate.
2. Examine the base of the heatsink, where contact with the processor die is made. 
This surface should be clean of all materials and greases. Wipe the bottom surface 
clean with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Place the backplate on the underside of the board so that the pins protrude through 
the holes in the system board around the processor.
