IBM® xSeries 330: Installation Guide
8. Install the heat sink onto the microprocessor.
a. Peel the plastic protective strip off the bottom of the heat sink. Make sure that
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. Orient the heat sink so
that the slot will be at the rear of the server.
c. Align and place the clip over the heat sink; 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. When the clip is in place, press the heat-sink lever down into the locked
position.
9. Replace the clear shield.
Note: The clear shield must be installed to maintain proper air flow and cooling
inside the server.
10. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, continue with
“Installing the cover”.
Installing the cover
Complete the following steps to install the server cover:
1. Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the clear shield or the
cover.
2. Install the clear shield, if it was removed.
Attention: Before sliding the cover forward, make sure that all of the tabs on the
cover will engage the ledge at the front of the server properly. If all the tabs do not
engage the ledge properly, it will be extremely difficult to remove the cover later.
