Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Upgrade Guide for Intel Xeon v3 Series CPUs
Minimum Software and Firmware Requirements
Upgrading to Intel Xeon v3 Series CPUs
Note These upgrade procedures require server downtime.
This section contains the following topics:
• Upgrade Scenario 1: UCSM-Managed C-Series Server, page 4
• Upgrade Scenario 2: Standalone Server, page 5
• Upgrade Scenario 3: Standalone Server RMA; BIOS on Spare Server is Earlier Than the Minimum
Version, page 6
Upgrade Scenario 1: UCSM-Managed C-Series Server
This scenario assumes the following conditions:
• The server is managed by Cisco UCS Manager.
• The Cisco UCS Manager software is earlier than the minimum (see Minimum Software and
Firmware Requirements, page 2).
• The C server is at a BIOS/Cisco IMC version earlier than the minimum (see Minimum Software and
Firmware Requirements, page 2).
• The server is using CPUs earlier than Intel Xeon v3 Series.
• The server is using DDR3 memory risers and DIMMs.
In this case, use the following procedure to upgrade the server, CPUs, memory risers, and DIMMs.
Step 1 Upgrade the Cisco UCS Manager software to the minimum version for your server (or later). See
Table 1.
Use the procedures in the appropriate Cisco UCS Manager upgrade guide (depending on your current
software version): Cisco UCS Manager Upgrade Guides.
Step 2 Use Cisco UCS Manager to upgrade and activate the server Cisco IMC to the minimum version for your
server (or later). See Table 1.
Use the procedures in the GUI or CLI Cisco UCS Manager Firmware Management Guide for your
release.
Note If you use a method other than Cisco UCS Manager to update the integrated server’s Cisco IMC
firmware, you must also manually initiate a low-level firmware upgrade. See Low-Level Firmware
Requirements, page 2.
Step 3 Use Cisco UCS Manager to upgrade and activate the server BIOS to the minimum version for your server
(or later). See Table 1.
Use the procedures in the Cisco UCS Manager GUI or CLI Cisco UCS Manager Firmware Management
Guide for your release.
Step 4 Decommission and then power off the server.
Step 5 Replace the CPUs with the Intel Xeon v3 Series CPUs.
Use the CPU replacement procedures in the Installation and Service guide for your server: Cisco UCS
C-Series Installation and Upgrade Guides.
