ZM80D-HP 6. Installation 6.1 Verifying the Computer Case’s Compatibility Compare your computer case with the cases in the diagram for compatibility. The ZM80D-HP cannot be used in systems in which the VGA Chipset faces upwards. Such cases should not be flipped up-side-down to “correct” this incompatibility. Good (O) Good (O) Bad (X) Good (O) 6.2 Attaching VGA RAM Heatsinks Thermal Tape Film 1) Peel off the Film from the Thermal Tape on the bottom of the RAM Heatsinks.
6.3 Applying Thermal Grease on the VGA Chipset 1) Clean off the contact surface of the VGA Chipset thoroughly. 2) Evenly apply the Thermal Grease onto the VGA Chipset, using a piece of cardboard. Most VGA Chipset surfaces are slightly concave and require more Thermal Grease towards the center.

ZM80D-HP 6.6 Assembling the Rubber Rings and Nipples 1) Slide the Rubber Ring onto each Bolt A protruding out of the back of the VGA card. 2) Screw a Nipple onto each Bolt A and tighten Bolt A with a screwdriver while holding the Nipple with one hand. While switching back and forth between each Bolt A, tighten one full turn at a time for each Bolt A until both are tightened. Frontside Heatsink Base Front Bolt A Rubber Rings Back Nipple Nipple 6.

Nut A Nipple Rubber Ring Bolt A Bolt C Nut A Nipple Nut B 6.10 Confirming Proper Installation of the Two Heatsink Base Assemblies (VERY IMPORTANT) 1) Viewing from the side, make sure that both Heatsink Base Assemblies are parallel with the VGA card, and that their edges are parallel to each other.
ZM80D-HP 6.12 Installing the Heatpipe 1) Slide in Heatpipe A and Heatpipe B into the grooves of the Base Assemblies. 2) For general VGA cards, the end of the Heatpipes should protrude approximately 50 mm from the end of the Frontside Heatsink Base, and for Geforce 4 Ti or FX59 ** series, they should protrude approximately 30mm.
6.14 Installing the Frontside Heatsink Loosely screw on the Frontside Heatsink onto the Frontside Heatsink Base. (Heatpipe A should be able to swing back and forth.)

ZM80D-HP 6.17 Installing the Backside Heatsink 1) Place the Backside Heatsink between Heatpipe A and the Backside Heatsink Base. 2) Place Heatpipe A into the groove for Heatpipe A on the Backside Heatsink. 3) With Heatpipe A in its groove, position the Backside Heatsink so that Heatpipe B is inserted in its groove on the Backside Heatsink. 4) Tighten the Backside Heatsink and the Backside Heatsink Base with Bolt B.
6.20 Confirming Proper Installation of the Frontside and Backside Heatsinks Make sure that both heatsinks are parallel with the VGA card, and that side edges of the heatsinks are aligned. (If the heatsinks are not properly aligned, they need to be reassembled.)

ZM80D-HP 6.22 Confirming Installation 1) The heatpipes installed on the VGA card should look exactly like the diagram below labeled (0). Check the diagram to make sure they have been correctly installed. Front Back (O) (X) (X) 2) Make sure the Thermal Grease has been applied properly. Application areas : VGA Chipset, Frontside Heatsink heatpipe grooves, Frontside Heatsink Base heatpipe grooves, Backside Heatsink Base, Backside Heatsink heatpipe grooves.
6.24 Reinstalling Separated Plate Springs onto the Heatsink Base 1) For the Frontside Heatsink Base : Assemble Bolt C and Nut B with the Plate Spring and insert this assembly into the side channel on the Frontside Heatsink Base. 2) For the Backside Heatsink Base : Assemble Bolt C and Nut B with the Plate Spring and insert this assembly into the side channel on the Backside Heatsink Base.
