TIM is Dexerials, it is not fixed to the heat sink. In this case, the heat sink can be used regardless of the state of the TIM. In case of a Dexerials TIM, discard it if it's damaged, otherwise, move it with tweezers to the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) surface. Make sure that the surface is clean. Power Systems: SCM...

One or more SCMs will need to be removed during this procedure. There are two versions of the SCM removal tools available. The newest version has a "loop" for easier handling. b. Loosen the heat sink actuation screw by turning the nut driver (P/N 46K5039) counterclockwise (A) until the screw becomes loose and moves freely.

20. Prepare SCM tool a. Press down on the center button. (A). b. While pressing the button (A), squeeze the tabs (B) together. c. Release the center button (A) while still holding the tabs (B) so that the tabs (B) are held in the locked position.
Page 20
21. Prepare for SCM Removal a. Using the SCM tool, align the beveled corner (A) of the tool over the beveled corner of the module. b. Lower the tool over the SCM, ensuring the guide pins (B) are inserted into the alignment holes.

2 and skip step 3. If the lid covers two processor sockets, skip step 2 and follow step 3. 2. This step only applies if you are not replacing an existing SCM. If the processor socket has a single processor lid, remove the processor lid.
Page 24
Use the processor lid removal tool to lift the processor lid out of the chassis and set the processor lid on a clean surface. 3. This step only applies if you are not replacing an existing SCM. If the processor socket has a dual processor lid, remove the processor lid.

Note: This will place the jaws at the bottom of the tool in the open position. 6. Install the SCM Note: Use the following procedure for SCM tool (A) or (B) to remove the SCM from the carrier tray (P/N 00E8477).
Page 27
Slowly lift the CP SCM insertion tool and CP SCM module straight up and out of the CP module carrier tray by holding on to the ring if the SCM tool has a ring, otherwise grasp the sides of the tool.
Page 28
Release the SCM Note: To prevent the SCM from falling, do not squeeze the two tabs (B) before you place the tool on the socket. n. With the SCM and tool on the SCM socket, press down on the center button (A).
Page 29
Using the tweezers, remove the TIM from the carrier strip. In the case of a Hitachi TIM pad, center it onto the SCM with the black side up. In the case of an Indium TIM pad, center it on the SCM with the red stripe facing up.

9. Install the Heat Sink a. Carefully lower the heat sink over the SCM, ensuring that the two guide pins (B) are inserted into the alignment holes (A) on each side of the heat sink. b. Ensure that the heat sink load arms are engaged.
Page 31
10. Secure the Heat Sink a. Upon placing the heat sink on the SCM, ensure that the heat sink load arms on both sides of the heat sink become engaged. b. While holding the heat sink in place, use the nut driver (P/N 46K5039) to tighten the heat sink actuation screw (A).
