Installing The Processor - H3C UniServer R4300 G3 Installation, Quick Start

Installing the processor

CAUTION:
• To prevent damage to the pins on the processor socket, always install a cover over an empty
processor socket.
• Make sure all processors on a server are the same model.
• To avoid damage to a processor, always hold the processor by the edges. Never touch the gold
contacts on the processor bottom.
The server can operate with one or two processors installed. This section installs one processor as
an example.
To install the processor:
1. Install the processor onto the retaining bracket.
a. Line up the small triangle on the processor with the alignment triangle molded into the
retaining bracket, and align the guide pin on the bracket with the notch on the processor.
b. Lower the processor gently and make sure the guide pins on the opposite side of the
bracket fit snugly into notches on the processor.
2. Install the retaining bracket onto the heatsink.
CAUTION:
When you remove the protective cover from the heatsink, be careful not to touch the thermal
grease on the heatsink.
a. Remove the protective cover. Lift the cover straight up and away from the heatsink.
b. Install the retaining bracket onto the heatsink. The heatsink has a corner cut off. Align the
alignment triangle on the retaining bracket with this corner of the heatsink. Lower the
bracket vertically down onto the heatsink until the four corners of the bracket click into the
four corners of the heatsink.
3. Remove the processor socket cover.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to touch the pins on the processor socket when you wear ESD gloves to
remove the processor socket cover.
• The pins on the processor socket are very fragile. Never touch the pins. Any damage to
them might require system board replacement.
• Keep the pins on the processor socket clean. Make sure the socket is free from dust and
any other debris.
Hold the cover by the notches on the two sides and lift it straight up and away from the socket.
Keep the cover secure for future use.
4. Install the heatsink onto the server.
a. Align the alignment triangle on the retaining bracket with the cut-off corner of the processor
socket and the pin holes in the heatsink with the guide pins on the processor socket. Lower
down the heatsink onto the processor socket.
b. Fasten the captive screws on the heatsink, strictly following the sequence from 1 to 4 as
instructed by the label on the heatsink. The screws might fall off if you do not follow this
sequence.
