Removing Processor Heatsink(s)

The heatsink is attached to the server board/processor socket with captive fasteners. 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 letter A). (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)
2. Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter B). Similarly,
loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw two rotations each time
until all screws are loosened.
3. Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).

Installing the Processor

Caution:

Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a
processor that is inappropriate for your server. For a web link to the list of compatible
processor(s), see "Additional Information and Software" on page 4.

ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to
the processor by doing the following:
- Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of
your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the processor.
- Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Protective socket cover needs to be removed for proper cooling of the processor; failure to
remove the cover could result in damage to the system.
1. Open the Socket Lever. Push down the lever handle on the OPEN 1st side and away from the
socket to release it. (see letter A). Repeat the steps to release the lever on the other side (see
letter B).
