Installing the Heatsinks

We recommend the use of active type heatsinks (except for 1U systems). Use any

onboard fan header for the CPU's heatsink fan. To install the heatsink, please follow

the installation instructions that are included with your heatsink package.

Note: Make sure the heatsink is placed so that the ﬁ ns of the heatsink are in the

direction of the airﬂ ow in your system.
