Sun Fire V60x Server Heatsink and Processor Replacement

Installing a replacement heatsink and processor is essentially the reverse of the
procedure given in the previous section.
Note – When a processor kit includes new heatsink retention clips, use them in
place of the old ones.
Note – When installing a new processor or relocating a processor to a different main
board, apply thermal paste as needed to the top of the processor.
Caution – If you are installing a processor removed from a different server, you
must prepare the processor and heatsink so that the heatsink properly conducts the
heat away from the processor (see Figure 5-23 on page 5-30). If the processor and
heatsink are not properly prepared, damage to the processor or socket can result.
You should not allow any surface that has thermal interface material to come in
contact with any other surface, as surface contamination may occur.
Follow these steps to replace the processor and heatsink:
1. Make sure the old processor has been removed and placed on an antistatic pad (or,
if you are moving the processor from one main board to another, insert the
processor directly into the new board as indicated in the next step).
2. As shown in Figure 5-11, open the socket lever.

3. Align the corner mark on the processor with the mark on the socket.
4. Insert the processor into the socket as shown in Figure 5-12.
