How to install Lenovo Intel Xeon Platinum 8352V

Follow these steps to ensure a proper upgrade and reliable operation within compatible Lenovo boards:

  • Verify motherboard compatibility: Confirm that your Lenovo system uses the LGA-4189 socket and supports a 3rd Gen Xeon Platinum upgrade. Check the motherboard’s firmware (BIOS) version and Lenovo’s compatibility recommendations before installation.
  • Prepare the workstation or server: Power down the system, unplug all cables, and discharge static electricity. Open the chassis and locate the CPU socket.
  • Remove the existing CPU (if present): Release the socket lever and carefully lift out the current processor. Clean any old thermal interface material from the heat spreader and socket surfaces with an appropriate, non-abrasive cleaner or approved solvents as recommended by the motherboard manufacturer.
  • Install the new processor: Align the 1-pin orientation or marked corner with the socket guides, then gently lower the 36-core processor into the LGA-4189 socket. Secure the socket lever to lock the processor in place, ensuring even seating across all contact points.
  • Apply thermal interface material and reattach cooling: Fit a compatible, high-efficiency cooling solution designed for 195 W TDP processors. Apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste if your cooler requires it and mount the cooler securely to ensure optimal contact.
  • Update firmware and microcode: Power on and enter the system BIOS. Update to the latest firmware to ensure full support for the 3rd Gen Xeon Platinum processor and correct microcode initialization.
  • Configure memory and system settings: Enable preferred memory configurations and verify that the operating system recognizes all cores and threads. Optimize virtualization, NUMA, and power settings per workload requirements.
  • Test and validate: Boot into your OS, install or update relevant processor-aware drivers, and run stress tests and reliability checks to confirm stability and performance gains across the intended workloads.
  • Monitor performance after deployment: Track core temperatures, power consumption, and performance counters to ensure the upgrade meets expected SLAs and to identify any tuning opportunities.
