Installation Requirements If the case is equipped with an Air Guide, then the Air Guide Duct must be removed before installation. Refer to the following diagrams, and install only on systems that meet the following installation requirements : No interfering components (PSU, graphic card etc. ) within 62mm from the center of the CPU. No interfering components (ODD etc. ) within 48mm from the center of the CPU. Case cover must be at least 150mm apart from the motherboard. Case Cover PSU 62mm System Fan Air Flow 62mm Case 48mm Graphic Card Slot Motherboard 9. Installation The Clip Installation Method The CNPS9700 must be installed in the orientation that matches the rear system fan's airflow. (Refer to the diagram above) The Clip installation method depends on the motherboard's socket orientation. Follow the correct installation method for your motherboard type. Be careful not to exert excessive force on the fan during installation of the Clip, as it may damage the fan. A. For motherboards with a horizontally-oriented Retention Guide Clip Retention Guide B. For motherboards with a vertically-oriented Retention Guide Clip Retention Guide 150mm 3 1) Intel Socket 775 Clip Installation Refer to "The Clip Installation Method" on page 3 to correctly install the Clip (S-Type, the orientation of the Retention Guide. ) according to Clip Support Installation Align the Clip Support for Socket 775 ( ) and the Backplate for Socket 775 ( ) with the mounting holes on the motherboard, and fasten them together by using the Clip Support Fixing Bolts ( ). The Lever Slot on the Clip Support for Socket 775 ( ) must be properly oriented on the hinged side of the socket lever when installing. The Backplate Support on the Backplate for Socket 775 ( ) can be removed if deemed unnecessary. Clip Support Fixing Bolt, CPU Clip Support for Socket 775, Socket Lever Hinge Motherboard Backplate for Socket 775, Backplate Support CPU Socket Lever Lever Slot Thermal Grease Application Clear off particles or any residue from the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink. Shake the Thermal Grease (ZM-STG1, ) well then apply on the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink base. Cooler Installation Insert two Bolts ( ) into the holes of the Clip (S-type, ) and place the CNPS9700 on the center of the CPU. Slightly fasten the Bolts ( ) into the holes of the Clip Support for Socket 775 ( ), then fasten the Bolts ( ) in an alternating manner until the Clip (S-Type, ) is completely pressed against the Clip Support for Socket 775. Bolt, Clip(S-Type), Note When installing the CNPS9700 on a motherboard with a horizontallyoriented Retention Guide, take extra care to not exert excessive force on the fan. Excessive force may damage the fan. Power Connection Please refer to "10. Power Connection" on page 6. 4 2) AMD Socket AM2/754/939/940 Thermal Grease Application Clear off particles or any residue from the contact surface of the CPU and heatsink. [. . . ] is not responsible for any damages resulting from CPU Overclocking. 6 12. Zalman Computer Noise Prevention System Zalman's Noiseless Power Supplies, Fanless Northbridge Coolers, Heatpipe HDD Cooler, Noiseless Case Fans, VGA Coolers, and Fan Controllers facilitate stable performance and a noiseless computing environment. 13. TNN (Totally No Noise) Computer Enclosures TNN 300 TNN 500AF TNN Computer Enclosures are the world's first environment-friendly noiseless computer enclosures that operate without the use of a fan. TNN Computer Enclosures use the aluminum enclosure itself as a heatsink. [. . . ]
