Removing and replacing a system processor module for the 8335-GCA

or 8335-GTA

You can remove and replace the system processor module in the IBM Power System S822LC (8335-GCA

and 8335-GTA) server.

Removing a system processor module in the 8335-GCA or 8335-GTA

system

Follow these steps to remove a system processor module from the IBM Power System S822LC (8335-GCA

and 8335-GTA) system.

About this task

As part of the system processor modules replacement, the heat sink is removed. When the heat sink is

removed from the system processor module, the thermal interface material (TIM) is typically adhered to

the heat sink. Unless damaged, the TIM that is adhered to the heat sink can be reused. If the TIM is

damaged, do not reuse the removed heat sink. Before you begin the system backplane removal and

replacement procedure, ensure that you have a spare TIM and heat sink, part number 01AF286, on hand.

Procedure

1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.

2. Open the packaging of the new system processor module, and place the cover upside down next to

the tray, as shown in Figure 81. The cover is used for the system processor module that you are

replacing.

3. Remove the heat sink from the system processor module:

a. Loosen the heat sink actuation screw by turning the supplied hex key counterclockwise (A).

Loosen the screw until it moves freely. See Figure 82 on page 81.

b. Grip the heat sink (B) on opposing sides and remove the heat sink by lifting it upward. Set the

heat sink aside with the module side facing upward.
