Details on the appropriate installation of the heat sinks.
It is not clearly defined how these components should be installed.
Intel® Server D50TNP Family supports 1U height heat sinks and 2U height heat sinks, and these are not interchangeable.
While they both may look similar, there is a clear distinction between the front and back heat sinks, with the front heat sink type being used for CPU 0 and the back heat sink type is used for CPU 1.
The back heat sink types have more heat venting fins, giving the impression that it has slimmer lines, with the front heat sink having thicker lines.
Installing them incorrectly could result in the processor not receiving the correct amount of pressure, possibly causing contact issues or even damage in some cases, resulting in a complete system failure accompanied by a solid amber LED status.
Please refer to Section 2.3 "Processor Assembly and Installation" of the Intel® Server D50TNP Family Integration and Service Guide for more information.
