Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system.
Power off the system and all attached peripherals.
Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
If applicable, remove the system from the rack.
Remove the system cover.
Remove air shroud.
NOTE: The heat sink and processor are hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered off. Allow the heat sink and processor to cool down before handling them.
Removing the heat sink module:
Using a screwdriver, loosen the screws on the heat sink in the order below:
a. Loosen the first screw three turns.
b. Loosen the rest of the screws in the order numbered.
c. Return to the first screw and loosen it completely.
Lift the heat sink from the system.
NOTE: The numbers on the image do not depict the exact steps. The numbers are for representation of sequence.
Removing the processor:
Release the socket lever by pushing the lever down and then out from under the tab on the processor shield.
Lift the lever upward until the processor shield lifts.
CAUTION: The processor socket pins are fragile and can be permanently damaged. Be careful not to bend the pins in the processor socket when removing the processor out of the socket.
Holding the processor by the edges, lift the processor out of the socket.
NOTE: The numbers on the image do not depict the exact steps. The numbers are for representation of sequence.
Installing the processor:
Align the pin 1 indicator of the processor with the triangle on the socket and place the processor on the socket.
NOTE: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.
Lower the socket lever and push it under the tab to lock it.
NOTE: If the processor has previously been used in a system, remove any remaining thermal grease from the processor by using a lint-free cloth.
NOTE: The numbers on the image do not depict the exact steps. The numbers are for representation of sequence.
If you are using an existing heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
Apply the thermal grease in a thin spiral design on top of the processor.
CAUTION: Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.
NOTE: The thermal grease syringe is intended for single use only. Dispose the syringe after you use it.
Installing the processor and heat sink module:
If you are using an existing heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
Use the thermal grease syringe included with your processor kit to apply the grease in a quadrilateral design on the top of the processor.
CAUTION: Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.
NOTE: The thermal grease syringe is intended for single use only. Dispose the syringe after you use it.
Align the cut-off on the heat sink to the triangle system board, and then place the heat sink module on the processor socket.
Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws in the following order to secure the heat sink to the system board.
a. Tighten the first screw three turns.
b. Tighten the rest of the screws in the order numbered.
Return to the first screw to tighten it.
NOTE: The numbers on the image do not depict the exact steps. The numbers are for representation of sequence.
Install the air shroud.
Follow the procedure listed in After working inside your system:
Replace the system cover.
If applicable, install the system into the rack.
Reconnect the peripherals and connect the system to the electrical outlet, and then power on the system.
