How to install HPE Intel Xeon Platinum (5th Gen) 8592+ 64-Core Processor Upgrade

• Power down the server completely, unplug from power, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling the processor.
• Open the server chassis and locate the CPU socket area. Confirm that the motherboard supports LGA-4677 and that the BIOS is updated to a version that recognizes the 8592+ processor.
• Release the CPU socket retention mechanism per the motherboard’s guidance, then carefully open the socket cover and clean any dust or debris from the socket surface.
• Orient the 8592+ processor to match the socket notches or indicator marks. Do not force the CPU into the socket; align it precisely and place it straight down to seating without bending pins or bending the socket.
• Secure the processor with the socket retention mechanism, ensuring even contact across the package and socket. Avoid applying uneven pressure that could damage pins or the processor.
• Apply an appropriate thermal interface material (either pre-applied paste on the cooler or a thin, even layer on the CPU). Install a compatible heatsink/fan assembly designed for the LGA-4677 socket and secure it according to the cooler’s instructions.
• Reconnect all power and data cables, then boot into the system BIOS. Update to the latest firmware if required and enable any processor-specific settings recommended by HP for optimal performance and stability.
• Enter system diagnostics to verify processor recognition, core counts, and thermal monitoring. Monitor temperatures under load and adjust cooling or power settings if temperatures approach the thermal limits.
• Perform a controlled stress test and validation run to confirm stability across cores and threads. Ensure that virtualization, memory, and I/O subsystems operate correctly with the new upgrade.
• Document the upgrade, including BIOS version, firmware updates, and post-installation test results, to support future maintenance and audits.
