7. Gently twist the heat sink and fan assembly to free it from the microprocessor and then lift the heat sink

and fan assembly off the system board.

8. Lay aside the old heat sink and fan assembly. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new

heat sink and fan assembly to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the new
heat sink and fan assembly from the package.

Notes:

• When handling the heat sink and fan assembly, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of it.

• Before installing the new heat sink and fan assembly, be sure to use the cleaning pad that comes with

the new heat sink and fan assembly to wipe the thermal grease from the top of the microprocessor.
Dispose of the cleaning pad after all of the thermal grease is removed from the microprocessor.

9. Place the new heat sink and fan assembly on the system board so that the four screws on the new heat

sink and fan assembly are aligned with the corresponding mounting studs on the system board. Note
the orientation of the new heat sink and fan assembly and make sure that you properly place it so that
you can easily connect the heat sink and fan assembly cable to the microprocessor fan connector on
the system board. See “System board components” on page 45.
