Installing the Heat Sink(s)

1The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use caution when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM.

2Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four posts surrounding the processor.

3Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a diagonal manner (screw in one screw, then the screw located diagonally to the first screw). Do not fully tighten one screw before tightening another.

4Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw until each is firmly tightened. Do not over-tighten the screws.

5Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the processor sockets.

6Replace the server’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the documentation that accompanied your server chassis for instructions on installing the server’s cover.
