There are several installation guides on installing the TRU-120 E, it will come with instructions too. First, check it will fit the mobo and case, then attach the backing plate to the mobo. Then once, the CPU is in, add TIM and screw the HSF into place using the holding plate - starting with the least accessible screw.

You might need to lap the bottom of the heatsink for the best performance.
