4.Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the processor sockets.

5.Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on installing the server's cover.

Removing a Processor

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Safety Information”.

2.Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.

3.Remove the AC power cord from the server.

4.Remove the server's cover. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on removing the server's cover.

5.Unplug the processor fan cable from the server board.

6.Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink.

7.Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the processor.

8.Lift the heat sink from the processor. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heat sink again. Do not force the heat sink from the processor. Doing so could damage the processor.

9.Lift the processor lever.

10.Press the release button and lift the load plate.

11.Remove the processor.
