Installing a compute book

This information provides notes and information that you need to consider when you install the compute
book and the instructions for how to install the compute book.
Important:
1. If you are installing a compute book that supports a E7-x8xx v3 or v4 series microprocessor and the
server previously contained compute books that had a E7-x8xx v2 series microprocessor installed,
before you install the new compute book, you must update the firmware to a minimum firmware level to
support the E7-x8xx v3 or v4 microprocessor. The server will not operate without the firmware update.
• The recommended minimum UEFI code level for E7-x8xx v2 and v3 is A9e130E. The recommended
minimum UEFI code level for E7-x8xx v4 is A9e132W.
• The recommended minimum IMM firmware level for E7-x8xx v2 and v3 is TCoo16P. The
recommended minimum IMM firmware level for E7-x8xx v4 is TCoo18Q.
If you fail to update the firmware to the minimum levels, you can reinstall the compute books that had a
E7-x8xx v2 series microprocessor installed; then, update the firmware, remove the old compute book,
and proceed with the new compute book installation.
