Contact with any surface can compromise the thermal grease and the microprocessor socket.

on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between
the contacts and the socket.
To remove a microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Read the safety information (see Chapter 2 “Safety information” on page 3).
Step 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords; then, remove the cover

Step 4. Open the heat sink release lever 1 to the fully open position.
Step 5. Lift the heat sink out of the server. After removal, place the heat sink on its side on a clean, flat
