Warning! We do not recommend removal of the heatsink. However,
if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instructions
below to prevent damage to the CPU or the CPU socket.
!
Installing the Heatsink
1. Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die; the
required 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 (preinstalled)
heatsink retention mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e.
the number 1 and 2 screws, as shown
on right) until just snug. Do not fully
tighten the screws or you may damage
the CPU.
4. Add the two remaining screws then
fi nish the installation by fully tightening
all four screws.
Removing the Heatsink
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence
as shown above.
2. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not
use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)
3. Once the CPU is loose, remove the heatsink from the CPU socket.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease.
Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you re-install the
CPU and the heatsink.
