CAUTION: To allow heat sink to draw as much heat as possible from the processor base, there must
be good contact between the heat sink base and the top of the processor. To ensure good contact,
you must apply thermal interface material.
CAUTION: Applying too much grease creates a gap between the contact surfaces, significantly
reducing the ability of the heat sink to draw out heat. Installing the heat sink with excessive grease
can also cause the grease to spread over the processor pins or the system board base, which can
cause electrical shorts that damage the system.
To install the heat sink:
CAUTION: To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only a heat sink model specified
for the HP ProLiant SL165s G7 server.
IMPORTANT:
The one close to front panel is processor 1 and the other one is processor 2. During install the
heat sink, make sure to install heat sink 1(on the processor 1) with 17 fin pitches, while heat sink 2(on the
processor 2) with 38 fin pitches.
1.
Properly align the heat sink mounting pins to the system board mounting holes.
