Processor Heatsink Removal

The heatsink is attached to the server board/processor socket with captive screws. Using a #2 Phillips*

screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner using the following

procedure:

1. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see

label "A"). (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)

2. Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see label "B"). Similarly, loosen

screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 by giving each screw two rotations each time until all screws are

loosened.

3. Lift the heatsink straight up (see label "C").

NOTE: the bottom side of the heat sink will include a thermal interface material (TIM). Care should be taken

NOT to displace or touch this material
