Special Information For Upgrades to Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs

Caution You must upgrade your server firmware to the required minimum level before you upgrade to Intel

E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs. Older firmware versions cannot recognize the new CPUs and this results in a

non-bootable server.

The minimum software and firmware versions required for the server to support Intel E5-2600 v2 Series

CPUs are as follows:

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

Table 3-6, you can replace the CPU hardware by using the procedure 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 C-Series Servers Upgrade Guide for Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs

to upgrade your firmware. After you upgrade the software, return to the procedure in this section to

replace the CPU and heatsink hardware.

CPU Configuration Rules

This server has two CPU sockets. Each CPU supports four DIMM channels (eight DIMM slots). See

Figure 3-12.

• The server can operate with one CPU or two identical CPUs installed.

• The minimum configuration is that the server must have at least CPU1 installed. Install CPU1 first,

then CPU2.

Note The following restrictions apply when using a single-CPU configuration: the maximum number

of DIMMs is eight, the internal mezzanine card slot is unavailable, and PCIe slot 2 is unavailable

(see Figure 3-20).
