Thermal assembly identification: 412-BBDM
412-BBDM is a processor heatsink part associated with CPUs above 185 W. Treat it as a chassis-specific thermal component, not a universal heatsink: socket, retention hardware, airflow shroud and system fan profile must match the server platform.

Fitment checks before replacing a high-TDP CPU heatsink
For 412-BBDM, verify the target server's service tag and processor configuration in Dell's parts information. A matching power rating is not enough if the heatsink footprint, mounting hardware or ducting differs. Confirm whether any thermal pad, fastener or fan component is supplied separately.
- Record the server model and service tag.
- Confirm processor socket and rated thermal design.
- Compare heatsink label, mounting points and airflow direction.
- Apply the platform-approved thermal interface and check fan operation.
Maintenance record for 412-BBDM
Keep the removed assembly label, replacement code and CPU details with the service record. Reference 412-BBDM when requesting a replacement, and validate the complete thermal kit against the chassis revision.
Confirm 412-BBDM fitment against the exact server configuration before installation; tag 412-BBDM and 412-BBDM on the service checklist.
