Removing the Heatsink
Caution: We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However,
if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to uninstall
the heatsink to prevent damage done to the CPU or the CPU socket.
1. Unscrew the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence as shown
in the illustration below.
2. Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive
force when wriggling the heatsink!)
3. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from the CPU socket.
4. Remove the used thermal grease and clean the surface of the CPU and the
heatsink, Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before
reinstalling the CPU and the heatsink.

Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control
panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed in preconfi gured systems to prevent them from blocking the fl ow of cooling
air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect
any of these cables, you should take care to reroute them as they were originally
after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If
you are confi guring the system, keep the airfl ow in mind when routing the cables.
The following data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connected.
See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
•
Two SATA cables (connect onboard SATA 0~1 to backplane 8~9)
•
Two Ipass to four SAS cables (connect onboard SAS 0~3 to backplane 0~3 and
onboard 4~7 to backplane 4~7)
•
One SGPIO cable (connect to T-SGPIO1 to backplane sideband 3)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
