How to Install Lenovo Intel Xeon Silver (2nd Gen) 4215 Processor Upgrade

• Confirm system compatibility: verify your motherboard supports Socket P LGA‑3647 and is listed to work with Intel Xeon Silver 2nd Gen processors; check Lenovo documentation or the motherboard’s BIOS compatibility list before purchasing.
• Prepare the system: power down completely, unplug the power cord, and discharge static by grounding yourself; remove the server or workstation cover to access the processor socket and cooling assembly.
• Remove existing cooler and old processor (if upgrading): carefully detach the heatsink or CPU cooler, unplug any fan cables, and lift the retention mechanism as needed to access the socket.
• Install the new CPU: align the Notches on the processor with the socket keying on LGA‑3647, place the 4215 into the socket, and secure the locking lever to ensure full contact and stability.
• Apply thermal interface material and reseat cooling: apply a thin, even layer of high‑quality thermal paste if your cooling solution requires it, reinstall the heatsink or cooler, reconnect fan cables, and ensure secure mounting and clearance around surrounding components.
• Power up and configure in BIOS: reconnect power, boot into the system BIOS, verify that the CPU is detected, enable any required virtualization or security features, and apply any recommended firmware or BIOS updates from Lenovo for optimal compatibility and stability.
• Post‑install validation: run a POST test, observe CPU temperatures under load, and perform a short stress test to confirm stability and cooling performance before returning the system to production.
