Chapter 3: Setup and Installation

7.To install the heatsink, apply thermal grease to the top of the processor. (If reinstalling a heatsink, first clean off the old thermal grease with a clean, lint-free cloth.)

8.Place the heatsink on the processor then tighten one screw until snug, then the other screw.

9.When both screws are snug, tighten them down to secure the heatsink to the mainboard.

NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws as this may damage the processor or the heatsink.

10.Replace the cover on the blade unit and finish by installing the unit back into the blade enclosure.

3-4 Onboard Battery Installation

A battery is included on the mainboard to supply certain volatile memory components with power when power has been removed from the blade module. If this battery dies, it must be replaced with an equivalent CR2032 Lithium 3V battery. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. See Figure 3-4for a diagram of installing a new onboard battery.

WARNING: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which reverses its polarities.
