To remove the microprocessor and heat sink on the 5U server model with hot-swap
power supplies (Model name: 2582-F4x), complete the following steps. For 4U
server models with non-hot-swap power supplies, please see the above
sub-section.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 163.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords
and external cables.
3. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page
166).
4. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the system
board facing up.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
5. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position.
6. Remove the heat sink from the microprocessor:
Attention: The heat sink may become very hot during normal operation.
Allow time for the heat sink to cool down before you touch it.
a. Loosen the screws and alternate among the screws until they break the
seal with the microprocessor.
b. Press firmly on the captive screws and loosen them with a screwdriver.
c. Use your fingers to gently pull the heat sink from the microprocessor.
Important: Be careful when you handle the microprocessor and heat sink.
If the microprocessor and heat sink will be reused, do not contaminate the
thermal material between them.
