Note – Mixing CPU speeds or mixing dual-core CPUs with single-core CPUs is not
supported. Use two identical CPUs in your server.
Note –
Align the triangle that is printed on one corner of the CPU with the tiny
triangle that is imprinted on the CPU socket, as shown in the red circle in
FIGURE 3-27
.
a. Ensure that the CPU socket release lever is in the fully open, vertical
position.
b. If re-using the existing heatsink, clean and regrease it.
Caution –
New heatsinks have a layer of thermal grease applied at the factory.
Adding additional thermal grease can damage the system. Follow this step only if
you are re-using a previously installed heatsink.
c. Use an alcohol pad to clean all the old thermal grease from the component
surface. Also, clean the dust from the heatsink fins.
Caution – Ensure that the thermal grease in the syringe supplied with the CPU is
pliable and not stiff. If your syringe of grease has aged, the grease might be too stiff
to adequately spread out and ensure thermal conductance.
d. Using one syringe of thermal grease (0.2 ml/0.5 g), carefully apply grease to
the top of the CPU in three lines in the pattern shown in
FIGURE 3-27
.
Note –
Two syringes of thermal grease are supplied with the new CPU, but use only
one syringe for each CPU. Apply the grease in the pattern shown in
FIGURE 3-27
.
