Thermal grease
This section contains information about removing and replacing the thermal grease
between the heat sink and the microprocessor. The thermal grease must be
replaced whenever the heat sink has been removed from the top of the
microprocessor and is going to be reused or when debris is found in the grease.

Attention:
The microprocessor tray is heavy. Pull the tray part-way out of the
server, reposition your hands to grasp the body of the tray, and then pull the
tray out the rest of the way.
other screw and lift the heat sink off of the microprocessor.
Attention:
Before attempting to remove the heat sink from the
microprocessor, note that the heat-conducting grease between the heat sink and
the microprocessor might have formed a strong bond. Do not force the
components apart; doing so can damage the microprocessor pins. Loosening
one screw fully before loosening the other screw will help to break the thermal
bond that adheres the heat sink to the microprocessor.
locked position until it stops or clicks in the fully open position (approximately
135° angle), as shown.
Attention:
You must ensure that the locking lever on the microprocessor
socket is in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in the
socket. Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the
microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and microprocessor board.
