2. Using the assembled applicator (see Letter J), apply the thermal gap filler on top of the twelve center VR
components (see Letter K).
Notes:
For 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable XCC and for Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series processor models, apply
•
248 cubic millimeters of thermal gap filler to cover the VR components with a minimum thickness of
1 mm.
For 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable MCC processor models, apply 423 cubic millimeters of thermal gap
•
filler to cover the VR components with a minimum thickness of 1.64 mm.
3. Carefully unpack the liquid-cooling loop.
4. Remove the protective covers from the PCIe* add-in card cold plate, the CPU 0 and CPU 1 cold plates.
5. Ensure that the thermal interface material (TIM) for each cold plate is in place and the plastic protective
film is removed.
Important Note: The liquid-cooling loop comes with a plastic carrier attached from the factory. The carrier is
used during the installation and removal of the liquid-cooling loop in the module. After the liquid-cooling
loop is installed in the module, the plastic carrier needs to be removed from it. Keep the plastic carrier for the
liquid-cooling loop removal, if needed in the future.
