SUPERSERVER 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF User's Manual

CPU properly installed

Load lever locked into place.

!

Warning: The CPU will only seat inside the socket in one direction. Make sure it is properly inserted before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.

Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1.Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the re- quired amount has already been applied.

2.Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the motherboard and the heatsink bracket underneath.

3.Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.)

4.Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink

!

Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. How- ever, if you do need to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or other components.

1.Unscrew the heatsink screws from the motherboard in the sequence as shown in the illustration below.

2.Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU (do not use excessive force).
