Installing a processor and heat sink module
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to replace the processor. The heat
sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
WARNING: The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the
heat sink to cool before removing it.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions on page 55.
2. If installed, remove the processor/DIMM blank and CPU dust cover.
The procedure to remove the DIMM blank is identical to that of the memory module.
Steps
1. Align the pin 1 indicator of the heat sink to the system board and then place the processor heat sink module (PHM) on the
processor socket.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
NOTE: Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.
2. Push the blue retention clips inward to allow the heat sink to drop into place.
3. Using the T30 Torx screwdriver, tighten one screw at a time.
