how to install Lenovo Intel Xeon Gold 6150 Octadeca-core (18 Core) 2.70 GHz Processor Upgrade
- Prepare the server: power down completely, unplug all cables, and discharge static by touching a grounded metal surface. Remove the chassis cover to access the CPU sockets and cooling assembly.
- Verify compatibility: confirm that the Lenovo server model supports the LGA 3647 socket and the Xeon Gold 6150, and ensure the BIOS/firmware is updated to a revision that recognizes the upgrade.
- Inspect cooling and mounting: remove or adjust the heatsink as required. Clean any old thermal material from the socket area and prepare a fresh, even layer of thermal interface material if the heatsink requires it.
- Install the processor: align the processor with the socket using the orientation markers, seat it firmly without bending pins, and secure the socket latch per the server’s maintenance guide. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
- Reassemble, power up, and validate: reseat memory modules if needed, replace the cover, reconnect power and cables, and boot into the BIOS. Apply any required firmware updates, configure processor settings, and run POST diagnostics and stability tests to ensure proper operation.
