FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:

Shut down the system

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1.- Power off the server and remove the server module from the chassis

2.- Remove the main cover

3.- Press the fault remind button on the motherboard to illuminate the LED for the CPU that has failed.

4.- Identify which CPU and heatsink you are replacing. (notes: If LED is off the CPU is operating properly, and if LED is blinking (amber) the CPU has failed, and should be replaced)

5.- Remove the heatsink from the motherboard.

* Hold down on the top of the heatsink to prevent it from tipping unevenly while you alternately loosen the four spring-loaded mounting screws that secure the heatsink to the motherboard. Turn the screws 180 degrees at a time, then remove the screws when they are detached.
* Twist the heatsink slightly to lift it off of the board. Turn the heatsink upside down and allow the spring in each of the four mounting holes to fall out into your hand.

6.- Remove the CPU

* Pull the CPU socket lever slightly away from the socket.
* Pivot the lever up, into the fully open position.
* Open the hinged plate that covers the CPU until it is in the fully open position.
* Lift the CPU out of the socket, leaving the lever and plate in the open position.

7.- Install the new CPU, or reinstall the existing CPU

* Ensure that the CPU socket release lever and retainer plate are in the fully open position.
* Align the CPU in the socket.
* Gently set the CPU onto the pins in the socket.
* When the CPU is fully seated in the socket, pivot the hinged retainer plate down onto the top of the CPU.

8.- Install the heat sink

* Using one syringe of thermal grease (500 mg [0.2 ml]), carefully apply grease to the top of the CPU in an X pattern.
* Turn the heatsink upright and reinsert the four springs and mounting screws.
* Carefully position and align the heatsink over the CPU.
* Lower the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting screws with their holes on the motherboard.

Note: After replacing the CPU, you must update the BIOS and SP firmware
