Figure 2-36: Installing a processor
A heat sink must be installed for the processor to function properly. The heat sink model for
your ProLiant server already has a thermal interface material pre-applied on the bottom
protected by a plastic cover. Make sure that this material has no scratches or gaps. If it does
have any scratches or gaps, contact your HP Customer Support provider for replacement.
CAUTION: To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only a heat sink model
specified for the HP ProLiant DL145 Generation 2 server.
6.
Remove and discard the plastic cover protecting the thermal interface material.
Be careful not to touch or scratch the thermal interface material.
7.
Install the heat sink:
a.
Align then insert the heat sink on top of the processor.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the heat sink’s spring-loaded screws to prevent them from
breaking off. A maximum torque of 6 in-lb is set for the system.
b.
Tighten the four spring-loaded screws a few threads in, observing a diagonally
opposite pattern, then tighten them completely to secure the heat sink to the processor
base.
