Figure 45. Removing the system processor modules from the packaging

Figure 46. Removing debris from the system processor modules

Figure 47. Installing the system processor modules
Inspect the thermal interface material (TIM) for visible signs of damage. The expectation is that when the heat sink is removed from the failed processor module, the TIM is attached to the heat sink. Unless damaged, the TIM attached to the heat sink can be reused. See Figure 48.
Note: Replacing the TIM is optional and is only performed when there is damage. Do not reuse the removed heat sink with TIM if it has damage. Either discard the heat sink and damaged TIM locally or return to IBM® based on part-order-form part status.

Figure 48. Inspecting the thermal interface material
If damaged, replace the thermal interface material (TIM) and heat sink. See Figure 49.
1. If TIM or heat sink replacement is necessary, order part number 74Y7420, Heat sink and Indium (TIM).
2. Remove the clear film from the thermal interface material packaging.
  Note: The thermal interface material must remain flat. Small wrinkles are acceptable, but folds are not acceptable.
3. Lightly grip the thermal interface material by the edges and center it on to the processor module with the red stripe facing up.
Figure 49. Installing the TIM onto the processor lid
Install the heat sink. Read this entire step before proceeding:
1. With the heat sink outside the CEC enclosure, insert the hex driver tool into the heat sink center load screw. This is easy because you can see the tool and screw head.
2. Lower the heat sink with tool inserted onto the processor housing using the guide holes on the heat sink to align properly with the guide pins . See Figure 50.
3. When the heat sink makes contact with the processor housing it also makes contact with a lever connected to each load arm D . See Figure 50.
4. Both load arms should pivot in towards each other causing them to engage the horizontal shaft on each side of the heat sink.
5. As you continue to turn the heat sink center load screw with the load arms engaged, the heat sink is pulled firmly into contact with the top of the processor module.
  Figure 50. Installing the heat sink
6. Tighten the center load screw clockwise using the hex driver (supplied) until a firm stop is reached. The firm stop occurs when the screw reaches the bottom of the hole.
7. Hold the top of the heat sink and try to gently move it side to side. See Figure 51.
  - If the heat sink moves noticeably, then the load arms are not engaged and the processor will overheat. Unscrew the center load screw and try this step again. If it fails again, you will need to manually push the load arms in while you turn the center load screw. If you are working alone you can carefully latch one load arm at a time. If you have an assistant, they can use their fingers to push the load arms in while you tighten the load screw.
    Note: To allow access to the loads arms you may need to remove memory cards and a CEC enclosure middle fan.
  - If the heat sink does not move, continue this step.
