Installing the Heatsink(s)
Note: The heatsink has thermal interface material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use caution
when handling the heatsink so you do not damage the TIM.
Each processor requires a heatsink. Depending on your chassis, you may need to use
either a passive or an active heatsink. An active heatsink has a fan attached to the top of it
and a cable that needs to be connected to the workstation board. The following table
shows the Intel

server chassis compatible with this workstation board and whether each
chassis requires an active or a passive heatsink:
