2.5 Installing the Heatsink
Heatsink Installation
After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heat sink. The CPU
heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at
maximum performance for as long as you own them. The overheated processor is
dangerous to the motherboard.
For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate
heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel
®
. Please refer to Intel’
®
s website at
www.Intel.com.
The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of S5501.
1. If a protective film covers the thermal interface
material (TIM) on the underside of the heatsink,
remove the protective film.
2. Align heatsink fins to the front and back of the
chassis for correct airflow. Airflow goes from front-
to-back of chassis.
3. Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and
should be tightened as shown
4. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, finger-tighten
each fastener diagonally, according to the white-
circled numbers.
5. Securely re-tighten each fastener again in the
same order as performed in Step 4.
6. Attach fan power cable to server board as
shown.
7. Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed
or disconnected to reach the processor sockets.
