Appendix D CPU Thermal Solution
(Heatsink) Installation
It is necessary for the Intel
®
Core™ 2 Duo processor to have a thermal solution
attached to it in order to keep it within its operating temperature.
Caution: An ESD wrist strap must be used when handling the board and installing the
heatsink/fan assembly.
A heatsink is included in the kit. To install the heatsink:
1. If not done already, attach the CPU fan to the top of the CPU heatsink with 4
screws. The label on the fan should face down.
2. Remove the heatsink from its package and separate the fan heatsink portion from
the heatsink backplate. (See the figure below.)
Figure 25. Step 2 - Heatsink and Backplate
3. 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.
