If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
To install a heat sink retention module, complete the following steps.
- Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing up.
Do not allow the server to fall over.
- Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see Removing the left-side cover).
- Remove the air baffle (see Removing the air baffle).
- Position the heat sink over the microprocessor. The heat sink is keyed to assist with proper alignment.
- Align the heat sink to the retainer bracket tabs and place the heat sink on top of the microprocessor, thermal material side down.
