SILVERSTONE XAC-MK-4710 (01) PDF SUMMARY:

Please wear ESD gloves to protect the processor and CPU socket before the installation process.

How to install the processor?

Install the processor first with the plastic carrier. Align the golden color triangle mark with the hollow triangle mark on the carrier, then align the key on the processor IHS cover and side, push the processor and confirm the 4 clips are securely locked. The carrier latches must be fully engaged with the keying slots on the edges of the processor and the processor must be securely seated on the carrier after insertion.

What should you do after removing the heatsink from its packaging?

Remove the protection cover of Thermal Interface Material (TIM). The required amount of TIM has been pre-applied on the bottom of the heatsink. Inspect the pre-applied TIM for any damage before use.

How do you decide the heatsink installation direction?

Identify processor Pin 1 and onboard socket Pin 1 to decide the heatsink installation direction; for certain motherboards, the Pin 1 location will be different with CPU1 and CPU2. The complete assembly of processor, carrier, and heat sink is called Processor Heat Sink Loading Module (PHLM) or Processor Heat Sink Module (PHM).

What should you do before assembling PHM on bolster plate?

Follow the sticker instructions to ensure all wires are in an unlocked position. Install PHM on bolster plate, and move all wires to the locked position, then use a Torx T30 screwdriver to tighten each nut of 8 LBF-IN (0.904 N-M).
