Processor thermal grease pattern
CAUTION:
Never touch the bottom of the processor; any contaminant could prevent the mounting
pads from making contact with the socket.
CAUTION:
Applying too much grease creates a gap between the contact surfaces, significantly
reducing the ability of the heatsink to draw out heat. Installing the heatsink 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 heatsink:
CAUTION:
To prevent overheating or a possible system crash, use only a heatsink model specified
for the HP ProLiant SL335s G7 Server.
CAUTION:
Heatsink screws should be tightened and loosened in opposite sequence. Do not
overtighten the screws as this can damage the system board, connectors, or screws. A maximum
torque of 6-8 in-lb is set for the system.
1.
Position the heatsink on the processor backplate.
2.
Tighten the first screw about three quarters in, then tighten the second screw completely.
3.
Completely tighten the first screw.
