How to Install Lenovo Intel Xeon Gold (3rd Gen) 6330 Processor Upgrade

  • Power down the server or workstation completely and unplug from power. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge and protect sensitive components.
  • Open the maintenance panel and locate the CPU socket area. Release the socket lever to access the LGA‑4189 socket and prepare for CPU replacement or installation.
  • If replacing an existing processor, carefully remove the old CPU and any cooling hardware following your system’s service guide. Do not force or bend pins or contacts when handling components.
  • Align the 6330 processor with the socket notches and gently place it into the LGA‑4189 socket. Ensure proper orientation and that the CPU sits flush with the socket surface before securing the lever.
  • Reinstall or reseat the CPU cooler with an appropriate amount of thermal interface material (TIM) if required. Firmly but evenly tighten mounting screws or clips to ensure even contact and effective cooling.
  • Reconnect power and data cables, then boot into the system BIOS to verify CPU recognition. Update BIOS firmware if prompted by the manufacturer to ensure full compatibility and feature support for the upgrade.
  • Enter the operating system and install or update chipset drivers and firmware as needed. Run stability and stress tests to confirm cooling performance and system stability under load.
