Figure 167. Removing a PHM Fully loosen the Torx T30 nuts on the PHM in the removal sequence shown on the heat-sink label. Rotate the anti-tilt wire bails inward. Carefully lift the PHM from the processor socket. If the PHM cannot be fully lifted out of the socket, further loosen the Torx T30 nuts and try lifting the PHM again.
– Open the retaining clip on each end of the memory module slots next to the left and right sides of the processor two slot. – Align the PHM filler with the slots, and place the filler on the slots with both hands. Firmly press the filler straight down into the slots until the retaining clips snap into the locked position.

• 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.
• See for a list of processors supported for your server. All processors on https://serverproven.lenovo.com the processor board must have the same speed, number of cores, and frequency. • Before you install a new PHM or replacement processor, update your system firmware to the latest level.

Step 2. If you are replacing a heat sink and reusing the processor. Remove the processor identification label from the old heat sink and place it on the new heat sink in the same location. The label is on the side of the heat sink closest to the triangular alignment mark.
Page 251
If there is any old thermal grease on the processor, gently wipe the top of the processor with an alcohol cleaning pad. Note: Make sure the alcohol has fully evaporated before applying new thermal grease. Apply the thermal grease on the top of the processor with a syringe by forming four uniformly spaced dots, while each dot consists of about 0.1 ml of thermal grease.

Figure 174. PHM filler removal Open the retaining clip on each end of the memory module slots next to the left and right sides of the processor two slot. Lift the PHM filler from the slots. Step 6. Install the processor-heat-sink module to the processor board. Figure 175.
Fully tighten the Torx T30 nuts in the installation sequence shown on the heat-sink label. Tighten the screws until they stop; then, visually inspect to make sure that there is no gap between the screw shoulder beneath the heat sink and the processor socket. (For reference, the torque required for the fasteners to fully tighten is 0.9-1.3 newton-meters, 8-12 inch- pounds.) Step 7.

• Lenovo XClarity Controller If you need to install a specific update, you can use the Lenovo XClarity Controller interface for a specific server. Notes: – To perform an in-band update through Windows or Linux, the operating system driver must be installed and the Ethernet-over-USB (sometimes called LAN over USB) interface must be enabled.
Several options are available to install and set up the firmware for the server. Important: Lenovo does not recommend setting option ROMs to Legacy, but you can conduct this setting if necessary. Note that this setting prevents UEFI drivers for the slot devices from loading, which may cause negative side effects to Lenovo software, such as LXCA, OneCLI, and XCC.
In addition, you can choose to make the text-based interface the default interface that is displayed when you start LXPM. To do this, go to Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager ➙ UEFI Setup ➙ System Settings ➙ <F1>Start Control ➙ Text Setup. To start the server with Graphic User Interface, select Auto or Tool Suite.

An alert is a message or other indication that signals an event or an impending event. Alerts are generated by the Lenovo XClarity Controller or by UEFI in the servers. These alerts are stored in the Lenovo XClarity Controller Event Log. If the server is managed by the Chassis Management Module 2 or by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, alerts are automatically forwarded to those management applications.
