Carefully place the defective GPDC on a soft, ESD-safe surface with the components facing
upward. Place the GPDC down directly and do not drag the GPDC on the surface. Failure to do
so can lead to component damage.
Place the SGDC on an ESD-safe surface with components facing upward.
5.13.2 Install a GPDC
Prerequisites
Tools Required:
Adjustable torque driver, 5–40 in-lbs
T15 Torx bit
T10 Torx bit
Dusting gas
Time Required:
15 minutes to remove and replace a populated GPDC
30 minutes to remove a GPDC, transfer the DIMMs and processors to an unpopulated
spare GPDC, and install the GPDC
About this task
If installing a spare GPDC, transfer the DIMMs and processors from the defective GPDC to the new GPDC.
Procedure
1. Position the replacement GPDC on the blade and press down firmly in the area of the connector to seat it in
the connector on the blade.
2. Hand tighten the standoffs (8) that attach the GPDC to the blade. Torque to 14 in-lbs.
The bit holder on the torque driver is the same size as the standoff.
3. Record the location of the DIMMs and processors on the defective GPDC to reinstall them in the same
locations on the replacement GPDC.
4. Remove the processors, DIMMs, and VRMs from the defective GPDC.
5. Install the processors, DIMMs, and VRMs on the replacement GPDC.
6. Place the processor air ducts on the blade.
