how to install Lenovo Intel Xeon Platinum 8160M Tetracosa-core (24 Core) 2.10 GHz Processor Upgrade
- Power down the server completely and unplug it from any power source. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling the processor and motherboard components.
- Open the server chassis and locate the processor socket, ensuring you have the correct Socket 3 alignment for the 8160M upgrade.
- Carefully release any socket retention mechanism, then align the processor’s notches with the socket’s keys. Avoid applying sideways pressure; seat the processor flat into the socket.
- Engage the socket lever to secure the processor in place. If your Lenovo system requires thermal interface material, apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste between the CPU and the heatsink.
- Reinstall the heatsink and fans, reconnect all cables, and power on the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify recognition of the new processor and confirm that memory and PCIe devices are functioning correctly. Run a hardware diagnostic to ensure stability before placing the server back into production.
