Figure 5-1. Removing the Air Shroud
Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules
One heatsink retention module (BKT-0005) and two screws are included in the retail
box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the heatsink to the CPU. To
install, position the module so that the CPU backplate standoffs insert through the
holes on the heatsink retention module and the four feet on the module contact the
motherboard. Secure the retention module to the backplate with the two screws
provided. See Figure 2-1.
Note: BKT-0005 is included for use with third-party heatsinks only. When installing
a Supermicro heatsink (SNK-P0026), only BKT-0004 (CPU backplate) is needed.
The BKT-0005 retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip-
and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.
