Sun Fire V60x Server Heatsink and Processor Removal

To remove the heatsink and processor, follow these steps while referring to
Figure 5-10:
1. Remove the plastic air duct that covers the heatsinks and processors (see
Figure 5-10).
2. Determine the location of the processor you are going to remove (see Figure 5-10).
CPU 2 is closest to the outside of the server and CPU 1 is toward the inside.
3. As shown in panel 1 of Figure 5-10, remove the processor air duct by lifting it up
out of the chassis. Remove the air baffle by wiggling to loosen the tab from the
backplane board. Lift the air baffle out of the chassis.
4. As shown in panel 2 of Figure 5-10, remove the fan module.
a. Disconnect fan power cable
b. Push release tab
c. Slide left and up.
Note – In the Sun Fire V60x server, the fan module must be removed to access the
retention clip nearest the front of the server.
5. As shown in panel 3 of Figure 5-10, insert the heatsink retention clip removal tool
into the hole in the end of one of the retention clips and then:
a. Use the tool to push the clip down.
b. Move the top of the tool toward the heatsink to release the clip from the tab on
the heatsink retainer.
c. Release the pressure on the tool and allow the clip to come up so it clears the
tab on the retainer.
d. Release the other end of the clip and slide the clip in a horizontal direction to
free it from the middle tab.
6. Remove both retention clips and the heatsink as shown in panel 4.
