2. Attaching heat sinks to the processors:
One passive heat sink has been included with your SuperServer 5010H/
5010E. Secure the heat sink to the processor with a suitable thermal
compound to best conduct the heat from the processor to the heat sink.
Make sure that you apply the compound evenly on the CPU's die,
and that good contact is made between the CPU chip (the die)
and the heat sink. Insufficient contact, inproper types of heat
sink or inproper amount of thermal compound can cause the
processor to overheat, which may crash the system. (Refer to
Figure 5-3b for Heat Sink Installation.)
4. Removing the processors:
To remove the processor from the motherboard, simply follow the
installation process in reverse order.
