1. Apply a very thin layer of silicone compound (from the small sachet)

to the surface of the CPU.

2. Position the AC4G-D cooling unit on the CPU so that the cold plate

sits squarely over the CPU.

Warning for AMD: The cooling unit for AMD has a small step in the base.

When positioning this unit, you must ensure that the step of the cooling plate

sits on the raised part of the CPU socket (see figure below). Failure to do so

will void the warranty, result in poor cooling, and could damage the CPU.

3. Use the heat sink clip (AMD) or clips (Intel) to clamp the cooling unit

securely to the retention mechanism on the motherboard.

Note for AMD: Fit one side of the clip on manually, then use a screwdriver to

fasten the other side of the clip into position (see figure below).

4. Connect the small connector of the cooling unit to the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

C. Bay-unit installation

1. Remove one of the available drive-bay covers from the front of the

PC. (If there is also a thin metal seal over the bay opening, remove

this seal.)

2. Put the USB cable through the opening first, and then slide the

AC4G-D bay unit into the empty bay.
