How to install Lenovo Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 E5-2630 v4 Deca-core (10 Core) 2.20 GHz Processor Upgrade

Follow these general steps to install this processor upgrade in a compatible Lenovo server:

• Power down the server, unplug it, and discharge static electricity risk by touching a grounded metal surface.
• Open the chassis and locate the CPU socket (LGA 2011-v3) and any cooling assembly that may need removal for access.
• Remove the heatsink if present and align the processor’s corner notches with the socket’s keys; carefully insert the CPU without forcing it.
• Secure the processor by engaging the socket latch or retention mechanism, then apply a thin, even layer of thermal interface material if required by your cooling solution.
• Reinstall the heatsink/fan assembly, connect power, and boot to BIOS to verify CPU recognition; update BIOS if necessary to enable Xeon E5-2600 v4 support.
• Install or update operating system and drivers to ensure proper CPU topology and performance improvements; enable virtualization features if needed and verify ECC memory support in BIOS/OS settings.
