Step 10 Reconnect power cords to all power supplies and then allow the server to boot to standby power mode (indicated when
the front panel Power button LED lights amber).
Step 11 Fully power on the server by pressing the Power button.
Verify that the power LED on the front of the CPU module returns to solid green.
Note
Additional CPU-Related Parts to Order with RMA Replacement CPUs
When a return material authorization (RMA) of the CPU is done on a Cisco UCS C-Series server, additional
parts might not be included with the CPU spare. The TAC engineer might need to add the additional parts to
the RMA to help ensure a successful replacement.
If you are moving existing CPUs to a new CPU module, it is not necessary to separate the CPU and heatsink.
They can be moved as one assembly. See Additional CPU-Related Parts to Order with RMA Replacement
CPU Modules, on page 77.
Note
• Scenario 1—You are reusing the existing heatsinks:
• Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)
One cleaning kit can clean up to four CPUs.
• Thermal interface material (TIM) kit for M5 servers (UCS-CPU-TIM=)
One TIM kit covers one CPU.
• Scenario 2—You are replacing the existing heatsinks:
• Heat sink (UCSC-HS-02-EX=)
New heatsinks have a pre-applied pad of TIM.
• Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)
One cleaning kit can clean up to four CPUs.
• Scenario 3—You have a damaged CPU carrier (the plastic frame around the CPU):
• CPU Carrier: UCS-M5-CPU-CAR=
• #1 flat-head screwdriver (for separating the CPU from the heatsink)
• Heatsink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)
One cleaning kit can clean up to four CPUs.
• Thermal interface material (TIM) kit for M5 servers (UCS-CPU-TIM=)
One TIM kit covers one CPU.
A CPU heatsink cleaning kit is good for up to four CPU and heatsink cleanings. The cleaning kit contains
two bottles of solution, one to clean the CPU and heatsink of old TIM and the other to prepare the surface of
the heatsink.
