Processor Heat Sink Replacement (Air Cooled Compute Modules Only)
Due to possible damage to the server board while attempting to remove/install the processor heat sink, Intel
does NOT recommend removing the processor heat sink outside of the following:
•
The processor heat sink is damaged and needs to be replaced
•
The processor heat sink is faulty and needs to be replaced
Before following the instructions in this section, remove the compute module to be serviced from the server
chassis (see Section 4.2.1) and remove the air duct (see Section 4.8.1).
Required Tools and Supplies:
•
Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
•
Torx* T-20 screwdriver

Processor Heat Sink Removal
Figure 48. Removing the processor heat sink
Note
: Extreme care should be taken when removing the heat sink from a fixed mounted processor.
•
Care should be taken not to accidentally bend or knock off any components mounted on the server
board while attempting to remove the heat sink or clean the top side of the processor.
1.
Using a Torx* T-20 screwdriver, loosen all captive (non-removable) processor heat sink screws until
each is free from the server board (see Letter A). No specific order is required.
2.
It will be necessary to break the thermal interface bond that has formed between the processor and
the heat sink. To break the bond and remove the heat sink, carefully rotate the heat sink in a short
back and forth pattern while at the same time carefully lifting the heat sink away from the processor
(see Letter B).
3.
Using a commercially available isopropyl alcohol cleaning pad or other similar cleaning tool, carefully
clean away all Thermal Interface Material (TIM) residue from both the bottom of the heatsink and the
top of the processor.
