Removal and replacement procedures 31
To replace the component:
1. Clean the old thermal grease from the processor with the alcohol swab. Allow the alcohol to evaporate
before continuing.
CAUTION: The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the
heatsink is removed from the processor after it has been installed.
2. Remove the thermal interface protective cover from the heatsink.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board, processor socket, and screws, do not
overtighten the heatsink screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system to reduce the possibility
of overtightening the screws.
3. Install the heatsink. Insert both screws, and then alternate tightening until the heatsink is seated properly.
4. Install the access panel ("Access panel" on page 24).
5. Install the server blade.
