User’s Manual CNPS9900 DF Intel Socket LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775 CPUs AMD Socket FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2 CPU&APUs To ensure safe and easy installation, please read the following precautions www.ZALMAN.com Ver.
1. Precautions 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Avoid inserting objects or hands into the fan while it is in operation to prevent product damage and injuries. Do not ingest the Thermal Grease, and avoid its contact with skin and eyes. If contact is made with skin, wash off with water. If ingested or irritation persists, seek medical attention. To prevent possible injuries, gloves must be worn while handling this product. Excessive force exerted on the fan may cause damage to the fan and/ or system.
. Components 1) Common Components Cooler Backplate User’s Manual Thermal Grease [ZM-STG2] Side Caps Allen Wrench (3/32") Gold Bolts Silver Bolts A (4mm) (Socket LGA 1366) Y-Connector Cable (Socket LGA 2011) Nuts 2) Intel Components Socket LGA 2011/1366/1156/1155/775 Intel Clip .
. Installation Requirements 1) Space Requirements The installation requires unobstructed space of 110mm (width) x 140mm (length) x 154mm (height) with the CPU as the central reference point. Before installation, please check if memory modules or motherboard heatsinks will not have any clearance issues with the CPU cooler. 2) Air Guide Removal Air guides on enclosures must be removed, before the cooler’s installation, for they protrude into the cooler’s required space.
. Installation A. Intel Socket Installation ( Go to Page 8 For AMD Sockets) Partially unscrew the four bolts located on the base of the CPU cooler. Then, insert the Intel Clips between the base and the heatpipe cover, with the clips bent away from the heatsink. Base Intel Clip Heatpipe cover The holes in the Clip (as shown below) are matched to the “keys” on the heatpipe cover for secure Clip installation.
2) Intel Socket LGA 1366/1156/1155/775 Installation ① Insert the Nuts to the Backplate according to the socket type and secure them with Side Caps. Socket 775 Socket 1156/1155 2 Socket 1366 1 Caution O X Take note of the orientation of the Nuts and the Side Caps. ② Socket LGA 1366/1156/1155 Installation Peel off one side of the Double-sided Tape and attach it to the center of the Backplate with the sticky side facing down. Then, peel off the top cover.
③S ocket LGA 775 Installation Peel off the Loading Block cover and attach it to the Backplate with the sticky side facing the center of the Backplate. Loading Block Peel off one side of the Double-sided Tape and attach it with the sticky side facing the Loading block. Then, peel off the top cover. Double-sided Tape Caution O X Please note that the sticky side of the Loading Block serves to attach the Loading Block to the backplate. .
④ Attach the Backplate assembly to the back side of the motherboard by aligning the Nuts to the motherboard mounting holes. If you were unsuccessful at first attempt, you may continue with the installation without the Double-sided Tape as it is not a necessary component. M/B ⑤ Apply thermal grease just enough to thinly cover the CPU surface.
B. AMD Socket Installation 1) AMD Socket FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2 Installation ① P artially unscrew the four bolts located on the base of the CPU cooler. Then, insert the AMD Clips between the base and the heatpipe cover, with the clips bent away from the heatsink. Base AMD Clip Heatpipe cover The holes in the Clip (as shown below) are matched to the “keys” on the heatpipe cover for secure Clip installation.
③ Peel off the Loading Block cover and attach it to the Backplate with the sticky side facing the center of the Backplate. Loading Block Peel off one side of the Double-sided Tape and attach it with the sticky side facing the Loading block. Then, peel off the top cover. Double-sided Tape Caution O X Please note that the sticky side of the Loading Block serves to attach the Loading Block to the backplate.
M /B ⑤ Attach the Backplate assembly to the back side of the motherboard by aligning the Nuts to the motherboard mounting holes. If you were unsuccessful at first attempt, you may continue with the installation without the Double-sided Tape as it is not a necessary component. ⑥ Apply thermal grease just enough to thinly cover the CPU surface. Then, insert four Silver Bolts B through the AMD Clip holes, and using the 3/23" Allen Wrench, fasten the Bolts incrementally while alternating between them.
