Installing the heatsink and fan assembly
Caution! The heatsink fan assembly has a thermal interface
material (TIM) on the underside. Use caution so that you do not
damage the TIM. If a protective film is installed on the TIM,
remove it.
1 Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 26.
2 Remove the side panel described on page 28.
3 Lay the server on its side (components showing).
4 Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the processor
die; the required amount has already been applied.
5 Place the heatsink on top of the processor (1) so that the four
mounting holes are aligned with those on the (preinstalled)
heatsink retention mechanism.
6 Use a screwdriver to tighten the four heatsink screws. Do not fully
tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.
