CAUTION: To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only a heat sink model specified
for the HP ProLiant DL180 server.
To install the heat sink:
1. Properly align the heat sink mounting pins to the system board mounting holes.
2. Tighten the mounting pins clockwise to secure the heat sink connection to the system board.
CAUTION: To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side during installation and removal
procedures, use a diagonally opposite pattern (an “X” pattern) when loosening and tightening the
four spring-loaded screws. Do not over tighten the heat sink’s spring-loaded screws to prevent them
from breaking off. A maximum torque of 4 in-Ib is set for the system.
