Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
Adding an Additional CPU (with CPU heat sink)
All Cisco UCS two CPU socket-capable servers can be upgraded from having one to having two CPUs
configured. You will need to order and install a heat sink when adding any additional CPU to a server.
Instructions for installing the new CPU and heat sink can be found at the following link:

Motherboard Lithium Battery
You can order a replacement motherboard battery. Installation instructions are found at this link:

CPU Removal and Installation (“pick n place”) Tool Set
The Pick n Place tool set is used to install a CPU in its socket without damage. It must be used each time a
CPU is installed in a UCS “M3” server.
Instructions for using this tool set are found at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/chassis/install/B200M3.html#wp1070500
Thermal Grease (with syringe applicator) for CPU to Heatsink Seal
Thermal grease must be applied to the top of the CPU where it comes in contact with the heat sink.
Instructions for applying thermal grease are found at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/chassis/install/B200M3.html#wp1070500
NOTE:
When you purchase a spare CPU, the Pick n Place Toolkit is included.
CAUTION: Use only the thermal grease specified for this server
(UCS-CPU-GREASE=). This thermal grease comes in a blue-tipped syringe
and is to be used in all servers except the C220 M3 and C240 M3 servers,
which use thermal grease in a red-tipped syringe (UCS-CPU-GREASE2=).
Thermal grease in the red-tipped syringe is only to be used for the C220
M3 and C240 M3 servers and has different thermal conductivity
properties, which may cause overheating if used in the B200 M3 server.
Likewise, thermal grease in the blue-tipped syringe is only to be used for
all UCS servers other than the C220 M3 and C240 M3 (such as the B200 M3
server) and has different thermal conductivity properties, which may
cause overheating if used in the C220 M3 and C240 M3 servers.
DO NOT use thermal grease available for purchase at any commercial
electronics store. If these instructions are not followed, the CPU may
overheat and be destroyed.
