Installing the 4S Performance to 8S Upgrade Kit
A ThinkSystem SR950 server with a four-socket performance configuration can be upgraded with the 4S
Performance to 8S Upgrade Kit to support an eight-socket configuration. The installation of this conversion
kit must be done by a trained service technician.
The 4S Performance to 8S Upgrade Kit includes the following parts:
• Four midplanes (interconnect cards)
• Nine Torx-head screws (you will use eight screws, but an extra screw is included in case it is needed)
Important: The 4S Performance to 8S Upgrade Kit enables the ThinkSystem SR950 server to support eight
processors. However, extra processors do not come with the conversion kit; you are responsible for
purchasing the desired number and type of processors. If you install the conversion kit, all processors in the
server must be 8100 Series processors.
