FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

Orderly shutdown of applications on server
Full backup is recommended as a precaution
Shutdown of OS and power down of server

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
1. Power off the server and remove it from chassis.
2. Remove the cover.
3. To replace a faulty CPU, perform the following steps; otherwise, go to Step 4.
a. Press the fault remind button on the motherboard to illuminate the LED for the CPU that has failed. If CPU LED is amber: CPU has a fault and should be replaced.
b. Removing the heatsink covering:
i. Hold down the top of the heatsink to prevent it from tipping unevenly while you loosen the spring-loaded screws that secure the heatsink.
ii. Remove the screws.
iii. Twist the heatsink to lift it off the board. Turn the heatsink upside down and allow the spring in each of the mounting holes to fall to your hand.
c. Removing the faulty CPU from socket:
i. Pivot the socket lever up, to the fully open position.
ii. Open the hinged plate that covers the CPU to the fully open position.
iii. Lift the CPU out of the socket.
4. Install (or reinstall) a CPU:
a. Determine the CPU socket location to populate (Go Step 4b for replacing an existing CPU):
- Remove air baffle and filler panel in socket.
- Clean old thermal grease.
Note - Mixing CPU speeds is not supported.
b. Ensure that the CPU socket and retainer plate are in open position then align the CPU with the CPU socket and gently set the CPU onto the pins in the socket.
c. When the CPU is in the socket, pivot the hinged retainer plate down to the CPU.
d. Put the release lever to the locked position.
5. Installing heat sink, perform the following steps.
a. Use the syringe (supplied with CPU) to apply approximately 0.1 ml of thermal grease to the center of the top of the CPU. Do not distribute the grease.
b. Turn the heatsink upright and reinsert the mounting screws.
c. Carefully align the heatsink over the CPU.
d. Lower the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting screws.
e. Using an allen wrench, alternately tighten the two heatsink mounting screws.
6. Reinstall the cover on the server.
