Server Upgrade Process
Processor modules are cold-service components that can be replaced only by qualified
service personnel. For the location of the processor modules, see

Caution -
electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
This table contains the steps for upgrading the server to a fully-populated configuration. You
can also view an animated demonstration of the upgrade process at:

or:

Step Description
1 Remove the upgrade components from their packaging, and
place them on an antistatic mat.
2 Remove the covers from the new processor module.
3 Remove all of the DIMM filler panels in the processor
module. The steps to remove the DIMM filler panels are the
same as the steps for removing DIMMs.
4 Verify that you have the correct DIMMs for your server. All of
the DIMMs must be either 16 or 32 GB, and they must match
the size and capacity of the DIMMs already installed in the
server.
5 Install the DIMMs.
6 Check the server for faults. If any fault is present, you must
correct the fault and clear it from the server before you can
continue with the upgrade.
7 Shut down the server.
8 Remove the processor filler module from Slot 1.
9 Install the new processor module in Slot 1.
10 Return the server to operation.
11 Verify the installation. If any fault is present, you must correct
the fault and clear it from the server.
12 Review the root complex changes.
13 Review the PCIe card load balancing changes. Even though
the load balancing guidelines change with the u;pgrade, you
do not need to move any existing PCIe cards.
