Figure 225. Separating a processor carrier the from heat sink
Note: The processor carrier will be discarded and replaced with a new one.
a.
Release the retaining clips from the heat sink.
b.
Lift the carrier from the heat sink.
c.
Wipe the thermal grease from the bottom of the heat sink with an alcohol cleaning pad.

If you are instructed to return the defective component, please package the part to prevent any shipping
damage. Reuse the packaging the new part arrived in and follow all packaging instructions.
Install a processor and heat sink
This task has instructions for installing an assembled processor and heat sink, known as a processor-heat-
sink module (PHM). This task requires a Torx T30 screwdriver. This procedure must be executed by a trained
technician.
About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 57 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 58 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 75.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their static-protective packages until installation to prevent exposure to
static electricity. Handle the parts with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding systems.
Place the parts on a static-protective surface.
• Each processor socket must always contain a cover or a PHM. When removing or installing a PHM,
protect empty processor sockets with a cover.
• Do not touch the processor socket or processor contacts. Processor-socket contacts are very fragile and
easily damaged. Contaminants on the processor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause
connection failures.
