Removing the Processor Fan (If Applicable)
This procedure describes how to remove the processor fan from a replacement processor. Due to space constraints, the server will not accommodate a processor with a fan mounted on the heat sink. Sufficient cooling is provided in the server without the processor fan.
If the processor you wish to install has a fan mounted on top of the heat sink, remove the fan as described in the following procedure. Otherwise, proceed to “Installing the Processor Chip.” Refer to Figure 9 while performing this procedure.
1.Grasp the fan housing at each corner.
2.Gently press and lift on the corners until the fan releases from the heat sink.
