Installing a New CPU and Heat Sink
Before installing a new CPU in a server, verify the following:
•
The CPU is supported for that given server model. This may be verified through the server Technical
Specifications ordering guides or by the relevant release of the Cisco UCS Capability Catalog.
•
A BIOS update is available and installed that supports the CPU and the given server configuration.
•
If the server will be managed by Cisco UCS Manager, the service profile for this server in Cisco UCS
Manager will recognize and allow the new CPU.
•
The CPUs and heat sinks are different and must be installed in the correct location. The front heat sink
and CPU 1 can only be installed in the front of the blade server and the rear heat sink and CPU 2 can
only be installed in the rear of the blade server.
