Server Upgrade
Process
The SPARC T5-4 server supports two processor module configurations:
Processor modules are cold-service components that can be
replaced only by qualified service personnel. For the location of
the processor modules, see Front Panel Components.
 | Caution - These service procedures require
that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
This discharge can cause failure of server components. |
This table contains the steps for upgrading the server to
a fully-populated configuration. You can also view an animated demonstration

1 |
Remove the upgrade components from their packaging,
and place them on an antistatic mat. |
|
2 |
Remove the covers from the new processor module. |
|
3 |
Remove all of the DIMM filler panels
in the processor module. The steps to remove the DIMM filler panels
are the same as the steps for removing DIMMs. |
|
4 |
Verify that you have the correct DIMMs
for your server. All of the DIMMs must be either 16 or 32 GB, and
they must match the size and capacity of the DIMMs already installed
in the server. |
|
5 |
Install the DIMMs. |
|
6 |
Check the server for faults. If any fault
is present, you must correct the fault and clear it from the server
before you can continue with the upgrade. |
|
7 |
Shut down the server. |
|
8 |
Remove the processor filler module from
Slot 1. |
|
9 |
Install the new processor module in Slot
1. |
|
10 |
Return the server to operation. |
|
11 |
Verify the installation. If any fault
is present, you must correct the fault and clear it from the server. |
|
12 |
Review the root complex changes. |
|
13 |
Review the PCIe card load balancing changes. Even
though the load balancing guidelines change with the u;pgrade, you
do not need to move any existing PCIe cards. |
