Thermal Grease Kit
Instructions
The thermal bond between the processor heat sink and the processor requires thermal grease
for proper operation. Every time you remove or replace the processor heat sink, you must replace
the thermal grease on the processor below the heat sink. New grease and alcohol wipes for
cleaning o the old grease are included with certain replacement parts and in a separate thermal
grease kit. Instructions for applying the grease are provided in this procedure.
Follow the instructions in this document carefully. Failure to follow these instructions could
damage your equipment and void its warranty.
Note: Online instructions are available at http://www.apple.com/support/diy/.
Kit Contents
The following are included in the thermal grease kit:
2 syringes of pre-measured thermal grease
2 alcohol wipes for cleaning previous thermal grease o processors and heat sinks
Working Safely Inside the Xserve
Always touch the Xserve enclosure to discharge static electricity before you touch any
components inside the Xserve. To avoid generating static electricity, do not walk around the
room until you have nished working inside the server and have replaced the cover. To minimize
the possibility of damage due to static discharge, wear an antistatic wrist strap while you work
inside the Xserve.
Warning: Always shut down the Xserve, and disconnect the power cords before opening
it to avoid damaging its internal components or the components you are installing. Don’t
open the server while it is turned on. Even after you shut down the Xserve, its internal
components can be very hot. Let it cool before you open it.
