Use this information to remove a microprocessor and heat
sink from the blade server. The microprocessor and heat sink assembly
must be replaced by a trained technician.
Read the following important guidelines before you remove
a microprocessor that is not faulty (for example, when you are replacing
the system-board assembly).
If you are not replacing a defective
heat sink or microprocessor, the thermal material on the heat sink
and microprocessor will remain effective if you carefully handle the
heat sink and microprocessor when you remove or install these components.
Do not touch the thermal material or otherwise allow it to become
contaminated.
Note:
- Read the following important information before you remove a microprocessor

assembly).
If you are not replacing a defective heat sink or microprocessor,

material or otherwise allow it to become contaminated.
- The microprocessor installation tool might become worn after several
uses. Make sure that the tool can hold the microprocessor securely
if you are reusing an existing microprocessor installation tool. Do
not return the tool with other parts that you are returning.
- Do not touch the contacts in the microprocessor socket. Touching
these contacts might result in permanent damage to the system board.
To remove a microprocessor, complete the following
steps.
Note: Be sure to use the installation
tool that comes with your microprocessor installation tool assembly.
The tools are similar in function and design, however Tool A has one
setting for installing one size of microprocessor, and supports the
following families of microprocessors: E5-26xx, E5-46xx. Installation
Tool B has two settings for installing two different sizes of microprocessors.
The settings that are marked on Tool B are "L" for smaller low
core microprocessors, and "H" for larger high core microprocessors.
Installation Tool B supports the following families of microprocessors:
E5-26xx, E5-46xx, E5-26xx v2, E5-46xx v2.
