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, 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 thermal grease is removed from the microprocessor.
9. Place the new heat sink and fan assembly on the system board so that each of the four screws on the
new heat sink and fan assembly is inserted into the corresponding mounting stud on the backplane.
Note the orientation of the new heat sink and fan assembly and ensure 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 38.
