Prerequisites
WARNING The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the system is powered off. Allow the heat sink to cool before removing it.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
Install the sled into the enclosure.
Reconnect the peripherals and connect the system to the electrical outlet.
Power on the attached peripherals and then power on the system.
Removing a sled:
Press the retaining latch and using the sled pull handle, slide the sled out of the enclosure horizontally.
CAUTION Ensure that the sled is supported with both hands while it is being slid out.
Removing the air shroud:
Press the clip on the air shroud to release the shroud from the sled.
Remove the shroud by rotating the shroud and releasing the hinge from the slot on the system.
If installed, disconnect the fabric cable from the fabric processor.
NOTE The process to remove a processor heat sink module (PHM) is identical for a fabric and a nonfabric processor.
Removing a processor:
Using a Torx #T30 screwdriver, loosen the screws on the heat sink in the order mentioned below:
Loosen the first screw three turns.
Loosen the second screw completely.
Return to the first screw and loosen it completely.
Pushing both blue retention clips simultaneously, lift the PHM processor and heat sink module
Set the PHM aside with the processor side facing up.
Installing a processor:
Align the pin 1 indicator of the heat sink to the system board and then place the processor and heat sink module (PHM) on the processor socket.
CAUTION To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
NOTE Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.
Push the blue retention clips inward to allow the heat sink to drop into place.
Using the Torx #T30 screwdriver, tighten the screws on the heat sink in the order below:
Partially tighten the first screw (approximately 3 turns).
Tighten the second screw completely.
Return to the first screw and tighten it completely.
If the PHM slips off the blue retention clips when the screws are partially tightened, follow these steps to secure the PHM:
Loosen both the heat sink screws completely.
Lower the PHM on to the blue retention clips, following the procedure described in step 2.
Secure the PHM to the system board, following the replacement instructions listed in this step above. 4.
NOTE The processor and heat sink module retention screws should not be tightened to more than 0.13 kgf-m (1.35 N.m or 12 in-lbf).
Installing the air shroud:
Insert the air shroud into the sled, aligning the shroud hinge with slot on the sled.
NOTE Ensure that both the SATA cables are routed through the air shroud cable guide slot behind the air shroud latches.
NOTE Ensure that neither of the cables are pinched or pressed under the air shroud.
Press the air shroud until the locks click into place.
Connect the fabric cable to the fabric processor.
Install the sled into the enclosure.
Reconnect the peripherals and connect the system to the electrical outlet.
Power on the attached peripherals and then power on the system.
