Removing a Processor

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this
procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

1 Remove the blade. See "Removing a Blade" on page 96.
2 Open the blade. See "Opening the Blade" on page 100.

CAUTION:

The processor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the

processor has had sufficient time to cool before handling.

NOTICE:

Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove

the processor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.

3 Loosen the four screws that secure the heat sink to the system board. See

Figure 3-16 (PowerEdge M905), Figure 3-17 (PowerEdge M805),
Figure 3-18 (PowerEdge M600) or Figure 3-19 (PowerEdge M605).
