Removing a heat sink retention module
Use this information to remove a heat sink retention module.
To remove a heat sink retention module, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Read the safety information that begins on
“Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page
417
.
Step 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
Step 3. Remove the cover (see
“Removing the cover” on page 424).
Step 4. Remove the applicable air baffles (see
“Removing the DIMM air baffle” on page 428 and “Removing
the microprocessor 2 air baffle” on page 426
).
Step 5. Remove the microprocessor and heat sink (see
“Removing a microprocessor and heat sink” on
page 499
).
Attention: When you remove a microprocessor and heat sink, be sure to keep each heat sink with
its microprocessor for reinstallation.
Step 6. Use a screwdriver and remove the four screws that secure the retention module to the system
board; then, lift the retention module from the system board.
