Caution

The heatsink 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. If you are reusing the original heatsink, make sure that the TIM on the bottom of the heatsink is not damaged. If the TIM is damaged, you should remove the old TIM, then apply new TIM to the bottom of the heatsink.

9Place the heatsink down onto the processor, then gently tighten the heatsink retaining screws to secure it into place.

Replacing a power supply module

Warning

The power supply modules in this server contain no user-serviceable parts. Only a qualified computer technician should service the power supply modules.

Your server comes with 3-wire AC power cords fitted with the correct plug style for your region. If this plug does not match the connector on your surge protector, UPS, or wall outlet, do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Use a UPS or wall outlet that is appropriate for the supplied AC power cords.

If your server uses the optional hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and one of the two power supplies fails, the other power supply module supports the server while you replace the failed module. You do not need to turn off the server or disconnect peripheral devices to replace a failed power supply module.

To replace a power supply module:1If you only have one power supply module, turn off your server.

2If you have two power supply modules, examine the LED indicators on the back of each power supply module to identify the failed module. The power supply module has failed if the orange (right) LED indicator is on.
