Installation manual

1.   Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU.

IMPORTANT. Make sure that the fan and heatsink assembly perfectly fits the retention

mechanism module base; otherwise you can not lock the retention bracket.

2.  Attach one end of the retention bracket to the retention module base.
3.  Attach the other end of the retention bracket (near the retention bracket lock) 

to the retention module base until it clicks in place.

NOTE. Your boxed CPU should come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan/heatsink 

assembly, and the retention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the 

CPU documentation, follow the latter.

4.  Push down the retention bracket lock on the retention mechanism to secure 

the fan and heatsink to the module retention module base.

5.  Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard.

CAUTION. Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring error 

can occur if you fail to plug this connector.
