Removing a heat-sink retention module
To remove a heat-sink retention module, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 191.
2. Turn off the server, and disconnect all power cords and external cables.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 205).
Attention: In the following step, keep each heat sink paired with its
microprocessor for reinstallation.
4. Remove the applicable air baffle; then, remove the heat sink and
microprocessor. See “Removing a microprocessor and heat sink” on page 279
for instructions; then, continue with step 5.
Attention: When you remove a microprocessor and heat sink, be sure to
keep each heat sink with its microprocessor for reinstallation.
5. Use a screwdriver and remove the four screws that secure the retention module
