CPU Removal and Installation (“pick n place”) Tool Set
The Pick n Place tool set includes two tools:
Pick and pull cap tool - used to pull off the plastic protective cap covering an empty CPU socket and 
to remove or lift a CPU processor without touching it
Pick and place tool - used to install a CPU in its socket without damage. Must be used each time a 
CPU is installed in a UCS “M3” server.
Instructions for using this tool set are found at the following link:
Thermal Grease (with syringe applicator) for CPU to Heatsink Seal
Thermal grease must be applied to the top of the CPU where it comes in contact with the heat sink. 
Instructions for applying thermal grease are found at:
Air Baffle Replacement Kit
Air baffles are designed to direct airflow through the server to maintain server temperature at a safe 
operating level. These baffles must always remain installed during server operation. The Air Baffle 
Replacement Kit includes the air baffles needed for one UCS C240 M3 server.
NOTE:  When you purchase a spare CPU, the Pick n Place Toolkit is included.
CAUTION:  Use only the thermal grease specified for this server 
(UCS-CPU-GREASE2=). This thermal grease comes in a red-tipped syringe 
and is to be used only in the C220 M3 and C240 M3 servers. Other servers 
use thermal grease in a blue-tipped syringe (UCS-CPU-GREASE=). 
 
 
Thermal grease for other systems may have different thermal 
conductivity properties and may cause overheating if used in the C220 M3 
or C240 M3 servers. 
 
 
DO NOT use thermal grease available for purchase at any commercial 
electronics store. If these instructions are not followed, the CPU may 
overheat and be destroyed.
CAUTION:  
NOTE:  When you purchase a spare CPU, the thermal grease with syringe applicator 
is included.
