All HP rp84xx servers are in box upgradeable to rp8440 servers in the current chassis. In box upgrades
may take one to two 8 hour periods either of successive days or using successive shifts on the same day.
In box upgrades will have the advantage of asset tag retention.
You can also accomplish an upgrade by combining the purchase of a new server with Trade Up credits
on the older server. Box swap upgrades may have the advantage of less upgrade down time.
In box upgrades and box swap upgrades may have similar prices depending on the amount of memory
and number of cell boards and processors that have to be upgraded.
