Installing a microprocessor and heat sink
Use this information to install a microprocessor and heat sink in the blade server.
Notes
- The microprocessor and heat sink assembly is a field-replaceable unit (FRU) and must be replaced by a trained service technician. To contact an IBM service representative, see Hardware service and support.
- The heat-sink FRU is packaged with the thermal material applied to the underside. This thermal material is not available as a separate FRU. You must replace the heat sink when new thermal material is required, such as when a defective microprocessor is replaced or if the thermal material is contaminated or has come in contact with another object other than its paired microprocessor.
- A heat-sink FRU can be ordered separately if the thermal material becomes contaminated.
To install a microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps.
