Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-7

Remove power from the system 1.

and unplug the AC power cord

from the power supply.

Do not apply any thermal grease 2.

to the heatsink or the CPU die;

the required amount has already

been applied.

Place the heatsink on top of the 3.

CPU so that the four mounting

holes are aligned with those on

the (preinstalled) heatsink reten-

tion mechanism.

Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. 4.

the #1 and the #2 screws) until

just snug. Do not fully tighten the

screws or you may damage the

CPU.)

Add the two remaining screws 5.

then ﬁ nish the installation by fully

tightening all four screws.

Installing a CPU Heatsink

Removing the Heatsink

1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence

as show in the picture above.

2. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do

not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)

3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU socket.

4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal

grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you

re-install a heatsink.

Note: see Chapter 6 for details on installing the air shroud.
