Chapter 7
8. Insert the processor into the socket and close the ZIF lever to fully seat the processor.
You should hear the ZIF lever click when it closes properly.

Replacing the Heat Sink and Cooling Fan

Once the processor is installed, the heat sink-cooling fan must be installed on top of the processor. The
thermal interface material on the bottom of the heat sink provides thermal bonding between the heat sink and
processor.
CAUTION To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only the heat sink-cooling fan
assembly specified for the HP Tower Server tc2110.
9. Remove the heat sink-fan assembly from the shipping container and ensure you do not touch the thermal
patch on the bottom of the heat sink.
10. Verify the thermal patch has not been damaged (missing thermal material from the patch) and if
necessary, remove the protective covering from the thermal patch.
11. If the thermal patch has been damaged, peel it off the heat sink and replace it with the thermal interface
material provided in the installation replacement kit.
Your installation kit may come with a thermal patch or thermal grease. If a patch is provided, affix the
patch to the bottom of the heat sink. If grease is provided, squeeze the entire contents of the tube on the
center of the processor.
12. Secure the heat sink using the springs and screws or thumb latches, depending on your heat sink model.
If your heat sink uses thumb latches, hold the heat sink in place and press down firmly on the latches.
