7.If the CPU is not being replaced, install a CPU baffle (“ CPU baffle” (page 110)).
CAUTION: To avoid damage to CPU socket pins and ensure proper system cooling, install a CPU baffle in an empty CPU socket.
The replacement CPU module is shipped from HP without a heatsink. You will need to order and attach a heatsink to the processor module before installing them for repair. See “Processor and heatsink module” (page 39) for more information on the installation procedure.
IMPORTANT:
•DO NOT SEPARATE THE PROCESSOR FROM THE HEATSINK FOR A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL RETURN. The heat sink and processor must be returned as a unit to aid in testing and root cause analysis.
•Do not discard your heatsink packaging or processor ESD bag. Reuse this packaging to return any exchange material.
•You MUST use a new heatsink with an undisturbed thermal interface for processor installation.
•To receive credit for returning defective material, make sure to include the processor paperwork
NOTE: After replacing the processor and heatsink module use the cpuconfig from UEFI to verify the that the processor socket has been reconfigured.
