Please read this manual thoroughly before installation. 2. This product is designed to accommodate an Optional Fan (ZM-OP1). You can expect satisfactory cooling performance with this product alone, but If you want even more cooling, you can attach the Optional Fan (ZM-OP1). 3.If you are using a nVIDIA GeForce FX5800, an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, a Matrox Parhelia, or a more advanced model, an Optional Fan (ZM-OP1, sold separately) must be installed. 4. After installing this product on a VGA card (Video Graphics Card), the PCI slot adjacent to the AGP slot will be unusable. 5. If you plan to install this product on a recently released VGA card, check for compatibility at Zalman's website (www.zalman.co.kr) before installation. 6. If the heatpipe is tampered with or scratched by a sharp object, it may not function properly. Please handle with care. 7. Zalman does not recommend VGA card overclocking. Zalman is not responsible for any damage from VGA card overclocking. 8. After installing the VGA card, avoid shaking or exerting excessive force on the heatsinks on each side of the card, for it may loosen the bolts in the Plate Spring. 9. To enhance the performance of this product, the use of a fan on the rear panel of the system's case is recommended. 10. Do not eat the enclosed Thermal Grease. For installation 1. This product can be installed if the Northbridge Cooler is shorter than 25 mm from the board's base, or if taller be at least 5.5 mm away from the AGP slot. 2.If a Zalman CNPS7000 series Cooler is used, the CPU Retention Guide should be at least 35mm away from the AGP slot to install this product. 3. When installing the VGA card equipped with this product into a computer system, opening up the PCI slot cover under the AGP slot can lower the VGA Chipset temperature by as much as 4~5 . 4. Since this product weighs 350g, always firmly fasten the VGA card onto the case with a screw. Special care should be taken while the computer is being moved. Zalman is not responsible for any damage arising while moving the computer. 5. If the components on the VGA card interfere in any way with this product, you cannot install this product.

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 1) Peel off the Film from the Thermal Tape on the bottom of the RAM Heatsinks. 2) Stick the RAM Heatsinks onto the VGA RAMs. There are two types of RAM Heatsinks - Frontside and Backside. Identify the proper heatsink and attach appropriately. 3) Press the RAM Heatsinks firmly with your finger for proper adhesion. (RAM Heatsinks can easily be detached. Please handle with care.) 4) If there are more than 8 RAMs on your VGA card, purchase additional RAM Heatsinks. Note 1) Avoid getting grease or any kind of stain on the surface of the Thermal Tape. The Thermal Tape may not stick. Clean the surface of the RAM with acetone or alcohol before attaching. Note 2)Thermal Tape loses adhesiveness after it has been used once. Try to attach properly on the first attempt. Note 3)Thermal Tape cannot be reused after it has been detached from a surface. If you need more, purchase it separately.

Most VGA Chipset surfaces are slightly concave and require more Thermal Grease towards the center. Thick Paper Protective Frame for Core VGA Chipset Thermal Grease VGA Chipset < Example : ATI Radeon 9700 PRO > 6.4 Selecting the Frontside Heatsink Base Assembly There are two types of Frontside Heatsink Assembly - Type A and Type B. Use the Type B assembly for GeForce 4 Ti series. Use the Type A assembly for all other VGA cards. If the Type A heatsink assembly cannot be installed, then install the Type B heatsink assembly. Frontside Heatsink Base Type A Type B 6.5 Installing the Frontside Heatsink Base Assembly 1) Clean off the contact surface of the Frontside Heatsink Base thoroughly. 2) The Frontside Heatsink Base Assembly should be centered and tightly pressed onto the VGA Chipset. 3) Unscrew Bolt C half a turn and position each Plate Spring to insert Bolt A into the Heatsink Mounting Hole. (Caution! Do not unscrew Bolt C completely.) 4) Once the Frontside Heatsink Base Assembly is centered, tighten Bolt C completely. Note) If the Plate Spring separates from the base assembly, reinstall the Plate Spring onto the Frontside Heatsink Base (Refer to installation step 6.24) and restart installation from 6.5 step 3).
