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 driver. This procedure must be executed by a trained
technician.
About this task
Attention:
• Read "Installation Guidelines" on page 121 and "Safety inspection checklist" on page 122 to ensure that
you work safely.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• 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.
• Do not allow the thermal grease on the processor or heat sink to come in contact with anything. Contact
with any surface can compromise the thermal grease, rendering it ineffective. Thermal grease can damage
components, such as the electrical connectors in the processor socket.
• Remove and install only one PHM at a time.
• Install the PHM starting from processor socket 1.
Important: Make sure you have an alcohol cleaning pad (part number 00MP352), thermal grease, and Torx
T30 screwdriver available.
The following illustration shows the PHM locations on system board.
