How to install Cisco Intel Xeon Platinum (5th Gen) 8568Y+ Octatetraconta-core (48 Core) 2.30 GHz Processor Upgrade
Installing this processor upgrade requires careful handling and adherence to standard server maintenance procedures. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, reliable installation that preserves Cisco server stability and performance.
- Prepare and power down: Shut down the Cisco server, disconnect all power sources, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge before touching any components.
- Access the CPU socket: Open the CPU heatsink retention area and locate the LGA-4677 socket designed for this upgrade. Remove any existing processor with proper tooling, keeping the socket clean.
- Inspect and align: Inspect the socket for debris. Align the 8568Y+ processor with the socket orientation marks and carefully place it into the socket, ensuring even seating without applying excessive force.
- Secure and apply thermal interface material: Secure the processor with the socket mechanism as required by the Cisco platform. Apply a thin, even layer of compatible thermal paste or thermal interface material to ensure optimal heat transfer between the CPU and the heatsink.
- Install cooling and reassemble: Reattach the heatsink and cooling assembly, reconnect any fans or thermal sensors, and close the server enclosure. Reconnect power and perform a post-installation power-on self-test (POST) to verify proper boot and recognition of the new CPU.
