Removing and Installing Processor

The heatsink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) on the underside of it. Use caution so that you
do not damage the thermal interface material. Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.

Removing Processor Heatsink(s)

The heatsink is attached to the server board/processor socket with captive fasteners. Using a #2
Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner
using the following procedure:
1. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two rotations
and stop (see letter A). (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)
2. Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter B). Similarly,
loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw two rotations each time
until all screws are loosened.
3. Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).
