If it is the first time you are installing this heatsink, you would have to read the instruction sheet. The instruction was not very clear and the pictures are not in colour. This makes it more difficult to comprehend.

For our tests, we used the AXP 3200+ and used the Socket A bracket. To install, you have to put the heatsink onto the Socket A bracket. Next, adjust the bracket so that the bracket is hooked onto the Socket 462 (6 hooks). Fasten the heatsink by tightening the two screws on the side of the heatsink.

The installation is somewhat quite different from other heatsinks that I have used before. As the heatsink is quite heavy, I wonder if the two screws is strong enough if the mainboard is placed vertically.
