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 102.
Note
• Scenario 1—You are reusing the existing heatsinks:
• Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)
• Thermal interface material (TIM) kit for M5 servers (UCS-CPU-TIM=)
• Scenario 2—You are replacing the existing heatsinks:
• Heat sink (UCSC-HS-02-EX=)
• Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)
• 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=)
• Thermal interface material (TIM) kit for M5 servers (UCS-CPU-TIM=)
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.
New heatsink spares come with a pre-applied pad of TIM. It is important to clean any old TIM off of the CPU
surface prior to installing the heatsinks. Therefore, even when you are ordering new heatsinks, you must order
the heatsink cleaning kit.

When a return material authorization (RMA) of the CPU module is done on a C480 M5 CPU module, you
move existing CPUs to the new CPU module.
