Processor Upgrades
The HP Integrity rx2660, rx3600, rx6600 servers, and BL860c server blade support upgrades
from Intel® Itanium® Montecito to Intel® Itanium® Montvale processors.
CAUTION: Ensure that processor speed and cache size are identical for all processors. Failure
to observe this caution results in performance degradation or system failure.
To ensure compatibility, use processors with identical part numbers.
Table 85 lists the processor upgrades that are supported, and required firmware levels for each
server.

Upgrading Versus Adding On
If your HP Integrity server already contains one, or more, of the processors listed in Table 85, then
follow the processor removal and replacement procedures (see “Removing and Replacing a
Dual-Core Processor” (page 216)) to add another processor. Updating the system 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 85, 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 Dual-Core
Processor” (page 216)).
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.
