Chapter 5. Installing options 57
6. Push the microprocessor release lever down to lock the microprocessor into place.
7. Install the heat sink on the microprocessor:
a. Peel the plastic protective strip off the bottom of the heat sink. Make sure the
square of thermal material is still on the bottom of the heat sink.
b. Align and place the heat sink on top of the microprocessor.
Note: Locate the slot in the channel of the heat sink. Orientate the heat sink
so the slot will be at the rear of the server.
c. Align and place the clip over the heat sin; then, snap the clip into place over
the heat sink with the heat sink release lever in the up position.
Note: If you remove the microprocessor later, remember to install the
terminator card in the appropriate microprocessor connector.
d. Press the heat sink release lever down into the locked position once the clip is
in place.
8. Replace the clear shield, then go to Installing the cover on page 61.
Note: It is very important to replace the clear shield.
9. Start the server and run the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Removing a microprocessor
Do the following to remove a microprocessor:
Note: Do not use any tools when removing the microprocessor.
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices on page 110.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in Safety information on page 107.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cord and all
external cables; then remove the cover (see Removing the cover on page 44 for
details).
3. Remove the clear shield from the server and store it in a safe place.
4. To remove microprocessor #2:
a. Remove the clip from the heat sink by pushing forward on the back of the clip
and up on the lever. After the clip releases from the heat sink, lift it up and off
the heat sink.
Note: A thermal material is used between the heatsink and the processor.
This material, when heated and cooled, causes the heatsink to adhere
to the processor. Some force may be required to remove the heatsink.
b. Firmly grasp the heat sink and lift it off the microprocessor.
Attention: Do not use excessive force or tools to remove the heatsink.
c. Discard the used heatsink.
d. Lift up the release lever and remove the microprocessor from the connector.
Store the microprocessor in a static-protective bag for possible future use.
Note: If you are installing a new microprocessor, go to Installing the
microprocessor on page 56.
If you are not replacing the microprocessor, then you must reinstall the
terminator card. Push the release latch down to lock the terminator
card into place.
