Xserve (Late 2006) Logic Board Replacement Instructions 1
Clean off any existing thermal grease on the top face of the first processor using an alcohol
wipe provided with the replacement logic board. Be careful not to get any thermal grease on
the processor contacts. Save the alcohol wipe and package for later.
Apply the contents on a single syringe of thermal grease (approximately 4.5 cc) to the top
surface of the processor.
Important: Be sure not to get any grease anywhere on the processor other than the very
top, flat surface that directly contacts the heat sink.
