Processor Assembly, Installation, and Replacement
Components Required:
1 or 2 Intel® Xeon® processor Scalable family
1 or 2 processor clips – Standard and/or Fabric
2 Processor Heat Sink(s)
Tools Required:
T-30 Torx screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Adequate ESD protective gear (wrist strap, ESD mat)
This generation of Intel Server Systems requires that the processor be attached to the heat sink prior to
installation on to the server board. The processor / heat sink assembly is referred to as the processor heat
sink module, or PHM.
Figure 23. Processor Heat Sink Module (PHM) Reference Diagram
To properly assemble the PHM and install it to the server board, the procedures described in the following
sections must be followed in the order specified. These instructions assume that all the PHM components
are new and the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is already applied to the bottom of the heat sink.
Note:
Intel Server Systems include two processor carrier clips to support standard Intel® Xeon processors.
For Intel® Xeon® processors that include an Intel® Omni-path host interface connector, a Fabric processor
clip must be used in place of the standard processor clip. Fabric processor clips are included with the
following Intel Fabric processor accessory kits:
AWF1PFABKITM
or
AWF1PFABKITP
WARNING
: Attempting to use a Standard processor clip with a Fabric supported processor may result in
component damage and/or induce improper assembly of the PHM.
