Chapter 3 Maintaining the Server

Installing or Replacing Server Components

Apply about 2 cubic centimeters of grease (about half the syringe contents) to the top of the CPU in the pattern that is shown in Figure 3-17.

Note If you do not have a syringe of thermal grease, you can order a spare (Cisco PID UCS-CPU-GREASE2).

d.For a new heatsink, peel the protective film from the thermal pad that is on the bottom of the new heatsink.

Note Do not apply a syringe of thermal grease if you are installing a new heatsink that already has a pre-applied thermal pad.

e.Align the heatsink captive screws with the motherboard standoffs, then use a Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the captive screws evenly.

Note Alternate tightening each screw evenly to avoid damaging the heatsink or CPU.

f.Replace the top cover.

g.Replace the server in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the server by pressing the Power button.
