b. Rotate the heat sink retention clip forward to its fully open position.
9. Remove the protective cover, tape, or label from the surface of the
microprocessor socket, if any is present.
10. Lift the microprocessor-release lever to the fully-open position (approximately
135° angle).

13. Close the microprocessor-release lever to secure the microprocessor.
14. Remove the heat sink from its package and remove the cover from the bottom
of the heat sink.
15. Position the heat sink above the microprocessor; then, press the heat sink into
place and close the heat-sink release lever.
Note: If you are installing an additional microprocessor in microprocessor
socket 3 or 4, a VRM must also be installed.
16. If necessary, install a VRM in the proper connector.
17. Reinstall the microprocessor tray in the server:
a. Install the air baffle in the microprocessor tray.
b. Place the air baffle on top of the heat sinks and the microprocessor baffles
c. Make sure that the microprocessor-tray release latch is open; then, push
the microprocessor tray into the server.
