2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server and turn off the server.

3. Disconnect the AC power cord from the server. Remove the server’s cover and fan duct, locate the

processor socket.

4. If a protective film covers the thermal interface material (TIM) on the underside of the heatsink, remove

the protective film. (Step “A” in Figure 34.)
