Installing the processor and heat sink module

1. Set the anti-tilt wires to the unlocked position on the heat sink (inward position).
2. Align the pin 1 indicator of the heat sink to the system board, and then place the processor heat sink module (PHM) on the processor socket.
   CAUTION:To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
   NOTE:Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.

   1. In a random order, tighten the first nut three turns.
   2. Tighten the nut diagonally opposite to the nut that you tighten first.
   3. Repeat the procedure for the remaining two nuts.
   4. Return to the first nut to tighten it completely.
   5. Check all the nuts to ensure they are firmly secured.
