[ARM] Install a headless server on an ARM device

As I said in this post, the cooler an electronic device runs, the longer it will last.

I still stand behind that statement.

Plus in this case, the active cooling model
XU4fan

has a flimsy fan that may not last too long and doesn’t move much air. Trying to replace that fan might be difficult. With the passive heat sink, I can buy regular 40 mm fans all day.

Also the passive heat sink is more flexible, you can run a fan or not.
