• Remove and install only one PHM at a time. If the processor board supports multiple processors, install
the PHMs starting with the first processor socket.
• To ensure the best performance, check the manufacturing date on the new heat sink and make sure it
does not exceed 2 years. Otherwise, wipe off the existing thermal grease and apply the new grease onto it
for optimal thermal performance.
Notes:
• The heat sink, processor, and processor carrier for the system might be different from those shown in the
illustrations.
• PHMs are keyed for the socket where they can be installed and for their orientation in the socket.
• See
https://serverproven.lenovo.com for a list of processors supported for your server. All processors on
the processor board must have the same speed, number of cores, and frequency.
• Before you install a new PHM or replacement processor, update your system firmware to the latest level.
See
“Update the firmware” on page 433.
The following illustration shows the components of the PHM.
