Removing and replacing field replaceable units
Use this information to remove and replace field replaceable units (FRUs).
FRUs must be installed only by trained service technicians. The illustrations in this
document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Removing a microprocessor and heat sink
Use this information to remove a microprocessor and heat sink from the blade
server.
Read the following important guidelines before you remove a microprocessor that
is not faulty (for example, when you are replacing the system-board assembly).
If you are not replacing a defective heat sink or microprocessor, the thermal
material on the heat sink and microprocessor will remain effective if you carefully
handle the heat sink and microprocessor when you remove or install these
components. Do not touch the thermal material or otherwise allow it to become
contaminated.
Notes:
1. The microprocessor and heat sink assembly is a field-replaceable unit (FRU)
2. The heat-sink FRU is packaged with the thermal material applied to the
3. A heat-sink FRU can be ordered separately if the thermal material becomes
To remove a microprocessor, complete the following steps.

replace the heat sink when new thermal material is required, such as when a
defective microprocessor is replaced or if the thermal material is contaminated
