To remove a microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 283.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
3. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the top cover” on page 146).
4. Remove the air baffle (see “Removing the air baffle” on page 148).
5. Locate the microprocessor to be removed (see “System-board internal
connectors” on page 29).
6. If you are removing microprocessor 1, remove the memory modules from
DIMM connectors 6 and 7. If you are removing microprocessor 2, remove the
memory modules from DIMM connectors 18 and 19. See “Removing a
memory module” on page 166 for instructions.⌂
7. Remove the heat sink.
Attention: Do not touch the thermal material on the bottom of the heat sink.
Touching the thermal material will contaminate it. If the thermal material on
the microprocessor or heat sink becomes contaminated, you must wipe off the
contaminated thermal material on the microprocessor or heat sink with the
alcohol wipes and reapply clean thermal grease to the heat sink.
a. Open the heat sink retention module release lever to the fully open
position.
