Removing the Processor Fan (If Applicable)

This procedure describes how to remove the processor fan from a replacement processor. Due to
space constraints, the server will not accommodate a processor with a fan mounted on the heat sink.
Sufficient cooling is provided in the server without the processor fan.
If the processor you wish to install has a fan mounted on top of the heat sink, remove the fan as
described in the following procedure. Otherwise, proceed to "Installing the Processor Chip." Refer
to Figure 9 while performing this procedure.
1. Grasp the fan housing at each corner.
2. Gently press and lift on the corners until the fan releases from the heat sink.
