Server Upgrade Process
58 SPARC T5-4 Server Service Manual • July 2016
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” on page 14.
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 of the upgrade process at:
