Thermal Operation and Configuration Requirements
To keep the system operating within supported maximum thermal limits, the system must meet the following operating and
configuration guidelines:
• Ambient in-let temperature cannot exceed 35ºC and should not remain at this maximum level for long periods of time.
Doing so may affect long term reliability of the system.
• The CPU-1 processor + CPU heatsink must be installed first. The CPU-2 heatsink must be installed at all times, with
or without a processor installed.
• Memory Slot population requirements:
NOTE: Specified memory slots either can be populated with a DIMM or supplied DIMM Blank (DIMM blanks are only
provided in systems that require them). Memory population rules apply when installing DIMMs.
▪ DIMM Population Rules on CPU-1
Install DIMMs in order; Channels A, B, and C. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then 2nd slot.
▪ DIMM Population on CPU-2
Install DIMMs in order; Channels D, E, and F. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then 2nd slot.
• All hard drive bays must be populated. Hard drive carriers either can be populated with a hard drive or supplied
drive blank.
• The air duct must be installed at all times.
• In single power supply configurations, the second power supply bay must have the supplied filler blank installed at
all times.
• The system top-cover must be installed at all times.

Remove Processor Heatsink(s)
CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface material (TIM) on the underside
of it. Use caution so that you do not damage the thermal interface material.
Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.
The heatsink is attached to the server board / 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
A
giving it two rotations and stop. (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)
Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop.
