Installing the heatsink 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.

2 Remove the side panel described on page 36.
3 Lay the server on its side (components showing).
4 Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink fan assembly or
the processor die; the required amount has already been applied.

(1) Align then insert the heatsink fan assembly on top of the
retention plate.
(2) Use a long-nosed screwdriver to tighten the four heatsink fan
assembly screws to secure the assembly.

connector.
