2. Attaching heatsinks to the processors:
Two passive heatsinks (one for each processor) have been included
with your SuperServer 6021H. Secure a heatsink to each processor with
a suitable thermal compound to best conduct the heat from the processor
to the heatsink. Make sure that you apply the compound evenly and that
good contact is made between the CPU chip (the die) and the heatsink.
Insufficient contact or improper types of heatsinks and thermal com-
pounds can cause the processor to overheat, which may crash the
system. See figure 5-4 for heatsink installation diagrams.
3. Removing the processors:
To remove the processors from the motherboard, simply follow the
installation process in reverse order.
