Insert a Heat Sink

  1. Secure the heat sink over the CPU to the Pilot motherboard by inserting the four screws on the four sides of the heat sink and tightening them using a Phillips Number 2 screwdriver.
    Tip: Ensure that you have thermal grease and syringe available to clean the CPU and heat sink.

    Important! Ensure that the heat sink and the screws are aligned so that the airflow marker on the heat sink faces the back of the Pilot and the system front marker on the heat sink faces the front of the Pilot. Also, ensure that the screws on opposite ends of the heat sink are tightened first. A slight force must be applied to push down the screwdriver while tightening the screws to overcome the tension generated.
    Note: Install the chassis mid-wall and ensure that the cables are running through the opening in the center of the mid-wall. Position the mid-wall with the cables in front of the motherboard so that it engages the mushroom-shaped standoffs that are located on the chassis sidewall (one for each side of the mid-wall).
