Step 1.  Remove the PHM from the system board. 

Figure 118. Removing a PHM

Attention:

To prevent damage to components, make sure that you follow the indicated loosening 

sequence.

a.  Fully loosen the Torx T30 captive fasteners on the processor-heat-sink module 

in the removal 

sequence shown 

on the heat-sink label.

b.  Lift the processor-heat-sink module from the processor socket.

After removing a PHM:

•  If you are removing the PHM as part of a system board replacement, set the PHM aside.

•  If you are removing the PHM, remove the extra system fans accordingly and install fan fillers to cover the 

place. For information about the system fan configuration, see “Specifications” on page 3.
