Servicing a Compute Node
Step 4 Detach the CPU from the CPU carrier by disengaging CPU clips and using the TIM breaker.
a) Turn the CPU assembly upside down, so that the heatsink is pointing down.
This step enables access to the CPU securing clips.
b) Gently lift the TIM breaker (1 in the following illustration) in a 90-degree upward arc to partially disengage the CPU
clips on this end of the CPU carrier.
c) Lower the TIM breaker into the u-shaped securing clip to allow easier access to the CPU carrier.
Note Make sure that the TIM breaker is completely seated in the securing clip.
d) Gently pull up on the outer edge of the CPU carrier (2) so that you can disengage the second pair of CPU clips near
both ends of the TIM breaker.
Be careful when flexing the CPU carrier! If you apply too much force you can damage the CPU carrier.
Caution
Flex the carrier only enough to release the CPU clips. Make sure to watch the clips while performing this
step so that you can see when they disengage from the CPU carrier.
e) Gently pull up on the outer edge of the CPU carrier so that you can disengage the pair of CPU clips (3 in the following
illustration) which are opposite the TIM breaker.
f) Grasp the CPU carrier along the short edges and lift it straight up to remove it from the heatsink.
