Installing the heatsink

The AMD Opteron™ 2000 series processors require a specially designed heatsink

to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

Make sure that you use only qualified heatsink assembly.

Follow these steps to install the CPU heatsink.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the

installed CPU, making sure that the

screw holes are matched with the

heatsink standoffs.

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 1-2 to install the

second heatsink.
