 Opteron™ 6300/6200/6100 series processors require a specially 

designed heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

•  Ensure to use qualified heatsink assembly only.
•  Ensure that you have applied the thermal grease to the top of the CPU 

before installing the heatsink and fan. 

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.  Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, ensuring that the heatsink fits 

properly on the retention module base.

Your boxed CPU heatsink and fan assembly should come with installation 

instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention mechanism. If the 

instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the 

latter.

•  The retention module base is already installed on the motherboard upon 

purchase.

•  You do not have to remove the retention module base when installing the 

CPU or installing other motherboard components.

•  If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that a 

Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU 

before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
