R530 heat sink

Hi,

Please send a private message with your service tag to ensure we have all appropriate information on your system.

PN 8XH97 is the heat sick for the R530. The 5 digit PN 8XH97 is what is used for the parts replacement inventory. Parts may or may not be refurbished.Once a part is removed from packaging, it can no longer be labeled as new. 412-AAFF is the PN used for sales and does reference back to 8XH97.

Let me know if that helps,

Hi, thanks for your replay.

I'm stuck at comparing the shape of 8XH97 which I have and the picture of 412-AAFF.

So, I wonder, am I be able to install such a tall heat sink with plastic cover?

Also, I can't find the manual how this heat sink could be installed because I don't see any screws there.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The link to the user guide is

Check page 126 for the heat sink installation instructions.

I believe the plastic cover you are speaking of is the cooling shroud. Check on page 70 on how to install.

If the heat sink was purchased from Dell, there should be a 20 digit id number on the label. It will start with 2 alpha characters. Please provide if available.

 Thanks,

Hi, 

I didn't buy new heat sink yet.

I'm just trying to choose the correct one.

fig 1I wonder if I had this heat sink in my previous r530 (fig 1)

But on the Dell web site there is only 412-AAGF which is marked as compatilble to r530 (fig 2)

So, I need help to understand: How can I install such a tall heat sink with such unusual mount in my 2-unit r530?

Am I be able to install back a cooling shroud?

Thanks in advance.
