Cisco UCS B200 M3 Installation And Service Note

The minimum software and firmware versions required for the server to support Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs are as follows:
Table 2: Minimum Requirements For Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs
Minimum VersionSoftware or Firmware
2.1(3)Server CIMC
2.1(3)Server BIOS
2.1(3)Cisco UCS Manager
8.0Board controller firmware
Do one of the following actions:
• If your server’s firmware and/or Cisco UCS Manager software are already at the required levels shown in the table above, you
can replace the CPU hardware by using the procedures in this section.
• If your server’s firmware and/or Cisco UCS Manager software is earlier than the required levels, use the instructions in the
Cisco UCS B-Series Servers Upgrade Guide for Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs to upgrade your firmware and software. After
you upgrade, return to the procedures in this book to replace the CPU and heatsink hardware.
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
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 Cisco UCS Manager will recognize
and allow the new CPU.
The Pick-and-Place tools used in this procedure are required to prevent damage to the contact pins between
the motherboard and the CPU. Do not attempt this procedure without the required tools, which are included
with each CPU option kit. If you do not have the tool, you can order a spare: Cisco PID UCS-CPU-EP-PNP=
for 10-, 8-, 6-, 4-, or 2-core CPUs (green); UCS-CPU-EP2-PNP= for v2 12-core CPUs (purple).
Caution
Procedure
Step 1
(Optional) 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 can be used in a manner similar to a pair of
tweezers. Grasp the protective cap and pivot as shown.
Step 2
Release the catch on the pick and place tool by pressing the handle/button.
Step 3
Remove the new CPU from the packaging, and load it into the pick and place tool as follows:
a) Confirm that the pedestal is set up correctly for your processor. The pedestal ships configured with the markings
“LGA2011-R1” facing upward, and this is the correct orientation.
