Mounting the backplate
Position the Intel backplate screws in the notches situated on the rear side of the Intel backplate. Pay attention doing so to align with the holes drilled for each socket. For fixing the backplate screws onto the Intel backplate use the O-rings. Once the assembly of the Intel backplate for the respective Intel socket has been completed, position it under the motherboard. In so doing make sure that the Intel backplate screws are precisely located within the motherboard holes. -
Installation of the mounting brackets
Screw the Intel spacer nut A onto the previously positioned Intel backplate. Then position the Intel mounting brackets over the Intel spacer nut A and affix these with the mounting bracket fastening screws. You can use the crosstip screwdriver for this. -
Mounting the CPU cooler
First peel off the protective film from the underside of the cooler. Apply thermal paste on the CPU surface. The tube contains enough for about 1 or 2 applications.
Caution : The thermal paste supplied should not be swallowed. If any is swallowed, drink lots of water and urgently seek the advice of a doctor. Store it beyond the reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. -
