Removing the microprocessor

To remove the microprocessor, complete the following steps.

1.Read the safety information in “Important Safety Information” on page 1 and “Guidelines for trained service technicians” on page 115.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.

3.Remove the server from the rack; then, remove the cover (see “Removing and installing the cover” on page 119).

4.Remove the DIMM air baffle (see “Removing and installing the DIMM air baffle” on page 121).

5.Remove the heat sink.

CAUTION:

The heat sink may become very hot during normal operation. Allow time for the heat sink to cool down before you touch it.

a.Loosen the screw on one side of the heat sink to break the seal with the microprocessor.

b.Press firmly on the captive screws and loosen them with a screwdriver.

c.Use your fingers to gently pull the heat sink from the microprocessor.

6.Lift the heat sink out of the server. After removal, place the heat sink on its side on a clean, flat surface.

7.Release the microprocessor retention latch 2 by pressing down on the end, moving it to the side, and releasing it to the open (up) position.

8.Open the microprocessor bracket frame 3 by lifting up the tab on the top edge. Keep the bracket frame in the open position.

Attention: Handle the microprocessor carefully. Dropping the microprocessor during removal can damage the contacts. Also, contaminants on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between the contacts and the socket.
