V. Heatspread Installation
1. There is a protective plastic covering on the thermal pads. This
must be removed before the heatspreader can be mounted.
Each heatspreader is designed for a specific STX module. The
thermal pads on the heatspreader are designed to make contact
with the necessary components on the STX module. When
mounting the heatspreader you must make sure that the thermal
pads on the heatspreader make complete contact (no space
between thermal pad and component) with the corresponding
components on the STX module. This is especially critical for STX
modules that have higher CPU speeds (for example 1.0GHz or
more) to ensure that the heatspreader acts as a proper thermal
interface for cooling solutions.
2. The two long screws (M3x15) and two short screws (M3x12) are
used to mount the heatspreader and STX module assembly to the
baseboard. (see Figure 1)
3. If you have an additional thermal solution on the heatspreader,
please refer to the STX88831 thermal solution design guide (see
Figure 2) to design your thermal solution.
