Installing the Heat Sink(s)

1

The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the
bottom of it. Use caution when you unpack the heat sink so you do
not damage the TIM.

2

Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive
screws with the four posts surrounding the processor.

3

Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a
diagonal manner (screw in one screw, then the screw located
diagonally to the first screw). Do not fully tighten one screw
before tightening another.

4

Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw until each is
firmly tightened. Do not over-tighten the screws.

5

Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to
reach the processor sockets.

6

Replace the server’s cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See
the documentation that accompanied your server chassis for
instructions on installing the server’s cover.
