Step 2:

Before installing the cooler, note the direction of

the arrow sign on the male push pin. (Turn-

ing the push pin along the direction of arrow is to

remove the cooler, on the contrary, is to install.)

Step 3:

Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four

push pins through the pin holes on the mother-

board. Push down on the push pins diagonally.

Step 4:

You should hear a "click" when pushing down

each push pin. Check that the Male and Female

push pins are joined closely. (Refer to your CPU

cooler installation manual for instructions on

installing the cooler.)

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the

CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage

the CPU.

Step 5:

After the installation, check the back of the moth-

erboard. If the push pin is inserted as the picture

above shows, the installation is complete.

Step 6:

Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU

cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the

motherboard.
