Installing the fabric processor into the processor heat sink module

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
CAUTION: Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
WARNING: The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the heat sink to cool before removing it.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
  3. Remove the sled from the enclosure.
  4. Remove the air shroud.

Steps

  1. Ensure that the processor is in the CPU tray.
    NOTE: Ensure that pin 1 indicator on the CPU tray is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor.
  2. Flex the outer edges of the bracket around the processor, close to the fabric connector, ensuring that the processor is locked into the clips on the bracket.
  3. Press the other end of the bracket to ensure that the clip is locked on to the processor.
    NOTE: Ensure that pin 1 indicator on the bracket is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor before placing the bracket on the processor.

  4. If you are using an existing heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
  5. Use the thermal grease syringe included with your processor kit to apply the grease in a spiral 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 of the syringe after you use it.
