IMPORTANT:
Do not remove any CPU unless it is failed.
To maintain the cooling effect in the server, install the dummy sponge onto the processor #3 and #4 sockets when the CPU is not installed to these sockets.
After the operation, heat may make the cool seat at the bottom of the heat sink adhere to the CPU. To remove the heat sink from the CPU, first turn the heat sink to the left and right lightly to make sure that the heat sink can be apart from the CPU. Removing the heat sink with it adhering to the CPU may cause the CPU and/or socket to be defected.
