Removing and replacing Tier 2 CRUs
Use this information to determine the guidelines for installing a Tier 2 CRU into
your blade server.
You may install a Tier 2 CRU yourself or request IBM to install it, at no additional
charge, under the type of warranty service that is designated for the server.
Some Tier 2 CRUs are available as both optional devices and replaceable
components. You can use the installation instructions for the Tier 2 CRU to install
the optional device.
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Removing a microprocessor and heat sink
Use this information to remove a microprocessor and heat sink from the blade
server. The microprocessor and heat sink assembly must be replaced by a trained
technician.
Read the following important guidelines before you remove a microprocessor that
is not faulty (for example, when you are replacing the system-board assembly).
If you are not replacing a defective heat sink or microprocessor, the thermal grease
on the heat sink and microprocessor will remain effective if you carefully handle
the heat sink and microprocessor when you remove or install these components.
Do not touch the thermal grease or otherwise allow it to become contaminated.

Make sure that the tool can hold the microprocessor securely if you are reusing
an existing microprocessor installation tool. Do not return the tool with other
parts that you are returning.
