Warning: Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink; the required amount
of thermal grease has already been applied.
To maximizing the cooling effect of the i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2, we strongly rec-
ommend that Supermicro's proprietary heatsinks (SNK-0046) be used with
Itanium2 CPUs.
1. Place a heatsink (SNK-0046) on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes
are aligned with those on the retention mechanism as shown in Figure 1 below.
2. Screw in two diagonal screws (eg. the #1 and #2 screws) until just snug (do
not fully tighten), then do the same with the remaining diagonal screws as shown
in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
