Working with Microprocessor Upgrades
3. Touch the static-protective package containing the new
microprocessor to any unpainted metal surface on the server;
then remove the microprocessor from the package. Place it
pin-side down on the static-protective foam that it came shipped
on.
4. Both microprocessors on a processor board must have the same
internal and external clock speed and cache size to ensure
proper server operation.
5. Open the thermal grease packet, and empty the contents evenly
across the heat spreader (the raised, gold area on the top of the
microprocessor).
Note: If thermal grease touches your skin, wash your hands
with soap and water.
6. Position the fan sink above the microprocessor, aligning the heat
spreaders; then, place the fan sink on the microprocessor.
7. Slide the fan sink back and forth across the microprocessor
several times to ensure that the thermal grease fully covers both
heat-spreaders.
8. Align the edges of the microprocessor and fan sink, and press
firmly.
Note: When you move the microprocessor/fan sink assembly to
the socket on the processor board, be sure to hold the
edges of both the fansink and the microprocessor. This
maintains the alignment and helps to reduce the risk of
dropping the assembly.
