for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Do not use this product near a water source, such as a faucet.

• Never spill liquids of any kind on this product.

• Never shove objects of any kind into this product’s open slots, as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts and could result in re or

electric shock.

• Do not block or cover slots and openings in this unit, as they were made for

ventilation and prevent this unit from overheating. Do not place this product

in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is available.

• Do not disassemble this product. This product should only be taken apart

by trained personnel. Opening or removing covers and circuit boards may

expose you to electric shock or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can also

cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

• Risk of explosion is possible if battery is replaced with an incompatible type.

Dispose of used batteries accordingly.

• This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug with

a third (grounding) pin. As a safety feature, this plug is intended to t only

into a grounding type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into

the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet. Do not remove the

grounding type plug or use a 3-Prong To 2-Prong Adapter to circumvent the

safety feature; doing so may result in electric shock and/or damage to this

product.

2.1.1 Removing the Processor Heatsink

The heatsink is attached to the server board or processor socket with

captive fasteners. Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws

located on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner using the following

procedure:

• Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by

giving it two rotations and stop (see letter A).

• Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop

(see letter B). Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and

B by giving each screw two rotations each time until all screws are

loosened.

• Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).

2.1.2.1 Unlatch the CPU Load Plate

• Push the lever handle labeled “OPEN 1st” (see letter A) down and

toward the CPU socket. Rotate the lever handle up.

• Repeat the steps for the second lever handle (see letter B).

CAUTION :

Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if

you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server.

CAUTION :

ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic

discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following:

(1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or

server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal

chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor.

(2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

2.1.2.3 Install the Processor

• Remove the processor from its package.

• Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the

CPU, taking care not to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).

• Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts

match the four orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Note the

location of a gold key at the corner of the processor (see letter C).

Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.

CAUTION :

The pins inside the CPU socket are extremely sensitive. Other than

the CPU, no object should make contact with the pins inside the

CPU socket. A damaged CPU socket pin may render the socket inoperable,

and will produce erroneous CPU or other system errors if used.

NOTE :

The underside of the processor has components that may damage the

socket pins if installed improperly. The processor must align correctly

with the socket opening before installation. DO NOT DROP the

processor into the socket.

NOTE :

When possible, a CPU insertion tool should be used when installing the

CPU.

2.1.2.4 Remove the Socket Cover. Remove the socket cover from the

load plate by pressing it out.

2.1.2.5 Close the Load Plate. Carefully lower the load plate down over

the processor.

2.1.2.6 Lock down the Load Plate

• Push down on the locking lever on the CLOSE 1st side (see letter A).

Slide the tip of the lever under the notch in the load plate (see letter B).

Make sure the load plate tab engages under the socket lever when

fully closed.

• b.Repeat the steps to latch the locking lever on the other side (see

letter C). Latch the levers in the order as shown.

NOTE :

The socket cover should be saved and re-used should the processor

need to be removed at anytime in the future.

Save the

protective

cover.

2.1.3 Installing the Processor Heatsink

• If present, remove the protective lm covering the Thermal Interface

Material on the bottom side of the heatsink (see letter A).

• Align the heatsink ns to the front and back of the chassis for correct

airow. The airow goes from front-to-back of the chassis (see letter B).

• Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a

diagonal manner using the following procedure:

• Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw

threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter C). (Do not fully

tighten.)

• Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two

rotations and stop (see letter D). Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.

• Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time

until each screw is lightly tightened up to a maximum of 8 inch-lbs

torque (see letter E).

NOTE :

The processor heatsink for CPU1 and CPU2 is different. FXXCA91X91HS is

for CPU1, while FXXEA91X91HS2 is for CPU2. Mislocating the heatsink

will cause serious thermal damage.
