Removing a Processor and Heatsink

Use this procedure to remove a processor and its heatsink (the heatsink must be
removed before the processor).

CAUTION

Take the following precautions when removing processors:

• Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a static-dissipating

work surface or grounding mat connected to the chassis
when handling components.

• Before removing the processor, touch a grounded

unpainted metal surface on the HP Netserver to discharge
static electricity.

1. Remove the air flow guide. See Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP

Netserver."

2. Use a flathead screwdriver or similar tool to unhook the tool latch on the

heatsink. See Figure 6-6.
