Removing A Processor; Figure 9. Installing Heat Sink - Intel SE7520JR2 - Server Board Motherboard User Manual

Hardware Installations and Upgrades
Installing the Heat Sink(s)
1. The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use caution
when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM.
2. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four posts
surrounding the processor.
3. Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a diagonal manner. Do no fully
tighten one screw before tightening another.
4. Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw until each is firmly tightened.
5. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the processor sockets.
6. Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the documentation that
accompanied your server chassis for instructions on installing the server's cover.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
3. Remove the AC power cord from the server.
4. Remove the server's cover. See the documentation that accompanied your server chassis for
instructions on removing the server's cover.
5. Unplug the processor fan cable from the server board.
6. Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink.
7. Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the processor.
