Installing a New CPU and Heat Sink

Before installing a new CPU in a server, verify the following:

• The CPU is supported for that given server model. This may be verified via the server's Technical

Specifications ordering guides (see Installing Memory, page 27) or by the relevant release of the

Cisco UCS Capability Catalog.

• A BIOS update is available and installed that supports the CPU and the given server configuration.

• If the server will be managed by Cisco UCS Manager, the service profile for this server in UCS

Manager will recognize and allow the new CPU.

If you are installing a CPU in a socket that had been shipped empty, there will be a protective cap

intended to prevent bent or touched contact pins. The pick and pull cap tool provided (See Figure 14)

can be used in a manner similar to a pair of tweezers. Grasp the protective cap and pivot as shown.
