Complete the following steps to remove a microprocessor.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see "Handling
static-sensitive devices" on page 27.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in Statement 1 and Statement 5 in "Safety
information" on page 28.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 33
for details).
3. Remove the support-bracket assembly and disconnect the fan cable from the
connector (SYSFA3) on the system board. See "Removing the support-bracket
assembly" on page 34 for details. See "System board internal cable connectors"
on page 24 for the location of the fan cable connector.
4. Push down and back on the retainer to remove it from the heat sink or the fan
sink.
Note: Allow sufficient time for a heat sink to cool, before you remove it from the
microprocessor.
5. If you are removing a fan sink from the microprocessor, disconnect the fan-sink
power cable from the microprocessor fan-sink connector located on the system
board. See "System board internal cable connectors" on page 24 for the location.
6. Firmly grasp the heat sink or fan sink and lift it off the microprocessor.
7. Pull out and lift up the release lever and remove the microprocessor from the
connector. Store the microprocessor in a static-protective package for possible
future use.
8. To install a new microprocessor, continue with step 4 in "Installing a
microprocessor" on page 48.
