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
* Caution – Do not operate the system with empty slots. Always insert a filler panel into an empty slot to reduce the possibility of system shut down.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

* Power off the server and remove the server module from the chassis
* Remove the main cover
* Identify which heatsink you are replacing.
* Remove the heatsink from the motherboard:
o 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, and then remove the screws when they are detached.
o Twist the heatsink slightly to lift it off the board. Turn the heatsink upside down and allow the spring in each of the four mounting holes to fall out into your hand.
o Remove old thermal grease.
* Install the heatsink on the motherboard:
o Using one syringe of thermal grease (0.2 ml/0.5 g), carefully apply grease to the top of the CPU in crossing three lines pattern.
o Turn the heatsink upright and reinsert the four springs and mounting screws.
o Carefully position and align the heatsink over the CPU.
o Lower the heatsink onto the CPU, aligning the mounting screws with their holes on the motherboard.
o Using an adjustable torque driver, alternately tighten the two heatsink mounting screws, 180 degrees at a time, until each spring is completely compressed. Tighten the screws to 7 in.-lbs (0.8 Nm).
* Power on the server and ask the customer to check for full functionality.
