Server Upgrade Process
Server Upgrade Process
The SPARC T8-4 server supports two processor module configurations:
■
Fully-populated
— Two processor modules
■
Half-populated
— One processor module and one processor filler module
Processor modules are cold-service components that can be replaced only by qualified
service personnel. For the location of the processor modules, see
.
Caution -
These service procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
This table contains the steps for upgrading the server to a fully-populated configuration.
