About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 27 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Notes:
• It may take some time for the heat sink to cool down after the system has been powered off.
• The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions for the processor. Do not power on the
server with the heat sink removed.
