Installing and Configuring

4.Insert the processor into the socket and close the ZIF lever to fully seat the processor. You should hear the ZIF lever click when it closes properly.

Replacing the Heat Sink and Cooling Fan

Once the processor is installed, the heat sink-cooling fan must be installed on top of the processor. The thermal interface material on the bottom of the heat sink provides thermal bonding between the heat sink and processor. If you want to re-use the old heat sink, you need to remove the old thermal interface material from the heat sink and replace it. (A new heat sink comes with the thermal interface material pre-applied.)

1.Follow these instructions if you plan to replace the old heat sink on the processor:

a.Carefully remove all old thermal interface material from the underside of the heat sink by scraping it off with a straight plastic edge, such as a plastic rule.

b.If your heat sink kit has a thermal patch, affix the patch to the bottom of the heat sink.

c.If your heat sink kit provides grease as the thermal bonding material, squeeze the entire contents of the tube on the processor.

2.If you are installing a new heat sink, if necessary, remove any protective covering from the patch on the bottom of the heat sink. If the heat sink uses grease as the thermal interface material, squeeze the entire contents of the tube on the processor.

3.Attach the heat sink to the processor.

4.Secure the heat sink using the springs and screws or thumb latches, depending on your heat sink model. If your heat sink uses thumb latches, hold the heat sink in place and press down firmly on the latches.

NOTE

The heat sink on your HP Server tc2110 may look different than the one shown in the

 

illustration and secure with thumb latches instead of screws.
