how to install Lenovo Intel Xeon Gold 2Nd Gen 5218R Icosa Core 20 2 10 Ghz Processor Upgrade

  • Confirm compatibility with your Lenovo server model and firmware. Ensure the server board supports Intel 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable processors and Socket P LGA-3647.
  • Power down the server, unplug from the power source, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge.
  • Open the server chassis and locate the processor socket. Remove any existing CPU heatsink and clear the socket area if needed.
  • Open the Z-height lever, align the 5218R processor with the socket keying, and carefully place it into the Socket P LGA-3647 socket. Close the lever to secure the CPU in place.
  • Apply a thin, even layer of thermal interface material (thermal paste) if required by the cooling assembly, then reattach the heatsink/fan assembly securely.
  • Reconnect power, reassemble the chassis, and power on. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify that the CPU is detected and that all cores/threads are recognized.
  • Update the BIOS/firmware to the latest version if prompted to ensure full compatibility and feature support for the new processor.
  • Boot into the operating system or hypervisor, run hardware validation, and monitor CPU temperatures and performance during the initial load to confirm stable operation.
