Dell Precision 7920 Rack Owner's Manual

Installing processor into processor heat sink module

1. Place the processor in the processor tray.
   NOTE:Ensure that pin 1 indicator on the CPU tray is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor.
2. Flex the outer edges of the bracket around the processor ensuring that the processor is locked into the clips on the bracket.
   NOTE:Ensure pin 1 indicator on the bracket is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor before placing the bracket on the processor.

   

3. If you are using an existing heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
4. Use the thermal grease syringe included with your processor kit to apply the grease in a spiral quadrilateral design on the top of the processor.
   CAUTION:Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.

   NOTE:The thermal grease syringe is intended for single use only. Dispose the syringe after you use it.

   

5. Place the heat sink on the processor and push down until the bracket locks onto the heat sink.
   

   NOTE:

   • Ensure that the two guide pin holes on the bracket match the guide holes on the heat sink.
