Processor installation 

 

 

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the heat sink and the 

processor to cool before touching them. 

 

 

CAUTION:

 To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side during installation/removal procedures, 

observe a diagonally opposite pattern (an “X” pattern) when loosening and tightening the four 

spring loaded screws. 

The procedure for replacing the current processor consists of five major steps which are as follows: 

1. 

Remove the heat sink. 

2. 

Remove the current processor.  

3. 

Apply the thermal compound. 

4. 

Install the new processor. 

5. 

Install the CPU heatsink. 

To remove the heat sink:

 

 

1. 

Prior to removing the heat sink, power on the system for a few minutes to soften the thermal 

compound, so that the fan can easily be removed. 

2. 

Perform the pre-installation procedure. 

3. 

Lay the server on its side (components showing). 

4. 

Remove the heat sink. 

a. 

Disconnect the heat sink cable from its system board connector (1). 

b. 

Use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to loosen the four spring-loaded screws of the heat sink (2). 

c. 

Lift the heat sink away from the system board (3). 
You may need to rotate the heat sink a few degrees clockwise and counterclockwise to break 
the thermal compound bond.
