Upgrading Verses Adding On
If your HP Integrity server already contains one, or more, of the processors listed in Table B-2,
then follow the processor removal and replacement procedures (see “Removing and Replacing
a Processor” (page 175)) to add another processor. Updating the firmware and OS is unnecessary
when adding another processor.
If your HP Integrity server does not currently contain one, or more, of the processors listed in
Table B-2, then a server upgrade is being performed, and system firmware and OS updates may
be necessary. After any necessary system firmware and OS updates are performed, follow the
processor removal and replacement procedures (see “Removing and Replacing a Processor”
(page 175)).
Firmware
Before upgrading the processor, ensure the server is at the required system firmware level. Check
the system firmware version by executing the info fw command at the EFI Shell prompt.
NOTE: HP recommends using the latest version of firmware.
System firmware updates are available on the HP website at:
http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers.
