Installing a CPU Heatsink
1. Remove power from the system
and unplug the AC power cord
from the power supply.
2. Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die;
the required amount has already
been applied.
3. Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on
the (preinstalled) heatsink reten-
tion mechanism.
4. Screw in two diagonal screws until
just snug. Do not fully tighten the
screws or you may damage the
CPU.)
5. Add the two remaining screws
then fi nish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.
Removing the Heatsink
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence
as show in the picture above.
2. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle the heatsink back and forth to loosen it from
the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when wiggling the heatsink.)
3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU socket.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you
re-install a heatsink.
Note: see Chapter 6 for details on installing the air shroud.
