Processor (CPU) Installation / Removal
The CPU-1 pro CPU heat sink must be installed first. The CPU-2 heat sink must be installed at all
times, with or without a processor installed. When no processor is installed in a socket, one of the provided
black mylar spacers should be attached to the top side of the plastic processor socket cover. This is a
serviceability feature that identifies that a socket has no processor present when only a heat sink is installed.

Processor Heatsink(s) Removal
Figure 29. Processor Heatsink Removal – Shown with NO processor installed
The heatsink is attached to the server board/processor socket with captive fasteners. Using a #2 Phillips*
screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner using the following
procedure:
•
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see
letter ‘A’). (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)
•
Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter ‘B’). Similarly, loosen
screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw two rotations each time until all screws are
loosened.
•
Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter ‘C’).
NOTE:
the bottom side of the heat sink will include a thermal interface material (TIM). Care should be taken
NOT to displace or touch this material
