Warning!
We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be
removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please
follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the
CPU socket.
!
Installing the Heatsink
Do not apply any thermal grease 1.
to the heatsink or the CPU die;
the required amount has already
been applied.
Place the heatsink on top of the 2.
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on
the (pre-installed) heatsink reten-
tion mechanism.
Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. 3.
the #1 and the #2 screws) until
just snug. Do not fully tighten the
screws or you may damage the
CPU.)
Add the two remaining screws 4.
then fi nish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.
Removing the Heatsink
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence as
show in the picture above.
2. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do
not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)
3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease.
Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you re-install the
heatsink.
