Description

HPE P71956-B21 Heat Sink Kit

Overview

The HPE P71956-B21 is a heat sink kit designed to manage thermal output within specific HPE ProLiant server generations. This component is critical for maintaining optimal operating temperatures, ensuring system stability and performance under load. It is intended for direct replacement or upgrade scenarios within compatible server chassis, such as those in the ProLiant G11P/G12 series.

Compatibility

This heat sink kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL320 servers, generations G11P and G12. Ensure your server model is listed within these series to confirm compatibility. Use of this specific kit guarantees proper fitment and thermal transfer characteristics as defined by HPE engineering for these platforms.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful adherence to HPE server maintenance procedures. Ensure the server is powered off and disconnected from all power sources before beginning. Torque specifications for mounting screws are critical to ensure proper contact pressure and prevent damage to the CPU socket or motherboard. Refer to the server's service manual for precise torque values and installation steps. The kit's weight is 1.78 lb.
