how to install Lenovo Intel Xeon Platinum (3rd Gen) 8358

• Power down the server, unplug power sources, and discharge any static before handling internal components.
• Open the chassis and locate the LGA-4189 CPU socket. If a heatsink or cooling solution is installed, remove it following your server’s maintenance procedure to access the socket.
• Carefully release the socket lever and lift the current CPU straight out of the socket by the edges. Avoid touching pins or the contact surface of the socket.
• Align the Lenovo Intel Xeon Platinum 8358 with the socket notches and seating orientation. Place the processor evenly into the socket without applying excessive force. Close the socket lever to secure the CPU in place.
• Apply a thin, even layer of high-quality thermal paste if your cooling solution requires it (many enterprise coolers arrive with paste pre-applied). Install the heatsink or cooling assembly, ensuring full contact with the IHS (integrated heat spreader) for optimal thermal transfer.
• Reattach any access panels, reconnect power and data cables, and power on the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify CPU recognition, update microcode/BIOS if needed, and configure preferred performance profiles. Run stability and thermal tests to confirm reliable operation under your typical workloads.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this processor compatible with all Lenovo servers? A: Compatibility depends on the server model and board support for Socket LGA-4189 and the appropriate BIOS/firmware. Verify that your Lenovo system explicitly supports Intel Xeon Platinum 8358 and 3rd Gen processors, and perform any required BIOS updates before installing the upgrade.
• Q: What kind of workloads benefit most from this upgrade? A: Highly parallel, multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization environments (many VMs), large-scale databases, real-time analytics, AI inference at scale, HPC simulations, and intensive data processing benefit from the 32-core, 64-thread configuration and the generous L3 cache.
• Q: What are the key specs I should know? A: Core count and threads (32/64), base clock (2.60 GHz), maximum turbo (up to 3.40 GHz), 48 MB L3 cache, 10 nm process, LGA-4189 socket, and 250 W TDP. These specs define performance, efficiency, and cooling requirements for enterprise deployments.
• Q: Do I need special cooling or power considerations? A: Yes. The 250 W TDP requires adequate server cooling and a stable power delivery system. Ensure your chassis, fans, and power supply are sized to handle the peak thermal and electrical load of the upgrade during full-load operation.
• Q: Should I update BIOS before installing? A: It is recommended to update to the latest BIOS/firmware that adds support for Intel Xeon Platinum 3rd Gen processors and your specific Lenovo model. This helps ensure proper feature support, stability, and performance.
