HP ProLiant SL170z G6 Server Installation Sheet

To install the heatsink:
CAUTION: Heatsink screws should be tightened and loosened
in opposite sequence. Do not overtighten the screws as this can
damage the system board, connectors, or screws. A maximum
torque of 6-8 in-lb is set for the system.
CAUTION: Be sure that the heatsink sits squarely on the
processor, or overheating and damage to the processor may
occur.
1. Position the heatsink on the processor backplate.
2. Tighten the first screw about three quarters in, then tighten the
second screw completely.
3. Completely tighten the first screw.
Figure 12 Installing the heatsink
IMPORTANT: If the heatsink has been removed for any reason,
it is critical that you apply more thermal interface material to the
integrated heat spreader on the processor to ensure proper
thermal bonding between the processor and the hea sink.
Clean the contact surface of both the processor and heatsink
with an alcohol pad, and then re-apply an HP-approved
thermal interface material before reinstalling the processor. Use
a pattern of five dots when applying the thermal interface
material—one dot in the center, and one dot at each corner.
