Solution

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
X6275 Trained

TASK COMPLEXITY: 2

Time Estimate: 180 minutes

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

Take ESD Precautions

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

A. Identifying Faulty Processor:

1. Prepare server module for service.

* Power off server module compute nodes
* Remove server module from Sun Blade chassis
* Attach antistatic wrist strap
* Remove the top cover

2. Press Remind button on motherboard

3. Identify processor and heat sink for replacing.

B. Removing Processor and Heat Sink

1. Identify processor(s)

2. Press down heat sink to counteract pressure of captive screws

3. Loosen each mounting screws that secure heat sink to motherboard(#2 Phillips screwdriver) Turn each one 180 degrees at a time.

4. To separate heat sink from processor, gently wiggle heat sink left and right, while pulling upward

A thin layer of thermal compound separates heat sink and processor

5. After separate heat sink from processor, set heat sink on flat surface, away from server module

* Use an alcohol pad to clean heat sink
* Clean dust from the heat sink fins
* Do not allow thermal compound to contaminate work space or other component

* Apply new thermal compound when you reinstall heat sink

7. Lift processor lever to fully open position

* Holding down processor clamp, carefully release spring lever
* Lift processor clamp up and away processor

8. Lift processor out socket

C. Installing a Processor Heat Sink

1.Ensure processor socket release lever is in open position

2.Align processor over socket

3. Set processor on socket

4. Lower processor clamp, and then latch lever.

5. Ensure the old thermal compound has been removed from component surface and heat sink

6. Using one syringe of thermal compound (500 mg [0.2 ml]), apply compound in an X pattern, stopping short of corners.

7. Position heat sink over processor, and align heat sink screws with screw holes in motherboard

8. Lower heat sink onto processor

9. Press down top of heat sink to counteract pressure of captive spring-loaded screws, use #2 torque screwdriver to alternately tighten each screw 180 degrees at a time, until tight at 8 inch pounds.

10. Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 until all processors are installed.
