Separate the processor from carrier and heat sink
This task has instructions for separating a processor and its carrier from an assembled processor and heat
sink, known as a processor-heat-sink module (PHM). This procedure must be executed by a trained
technician.
About this task
S002
CAUTION:
The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the
electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To
remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the
power source.
Attention:
• Read "Installation guidelines" on page 57 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Do not touch the processor contacts. Contaminants on the processor contacts, such as oil from your skin,
can cause connection failures.
• Do not allow the thermal grease on the processor or heat sink to come in contact with anything. Contact
with any surface can compromise the thermal grease, rendering it ineffective. Thermal grease can damage
components, such as the electrical connectors in the processor socket.
Note: The heat sink, processor, and processor carrier for your system might be different from those shown
in the illustrations.
