4.9.5 Upgrading the CPU
To upgrade a CPU to the Intel Xeon processor 7400 series:
1. Obtain the upgrade kit, which includes the new processors, heatsinks, and
high-capacity fan modules.
The upgrade kit part numbers are:
■ X4450-4-X7460 for upgrade to 4 Intel Xeon processor X7460
■ X4450-2-X7460 for upgrade to 2 Intel Xeon processor X7460
Note – This upgrade kit is for upgrading to a 130W processor only. A non-130W
processor does not require high capacity fan modules.
2. Update the BIOS and firmware to the latest revision.
3. Migrate to the ILOM Lights Out Manager. (Optional)
If your Sun Fire X4450 server has embedded LOM, the server must be upgraded to
ILOM before it can support the Intel Xeon processor 7400 series.
Read the ELOM to ILOM Migration Users Guide.Gotohttp://docs.sun.com.
To access the firmware supporting ILOM, refer to the Sun Fire X4450 Server Tools
and Drivers CD/DVD Version 2.0.0. To download an image go to:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4450/downloads.jsp
After transitioning to ILOM from the 2.0.0 DVD, update the BIOS and ILOM again
to the latest Tools and Drivers DVD version. BIOS version 3B50 on the 2.0.0 DVD
is only a transition BIOS and does not completely support the 7400 series CPU.
