How to install Lenovo Xeon Gold 6238L Processor

• Power down the Lenovo server or workstation completely and unplug it from any power sources before beginning the upgrade.
• Open the chassis and locate the motherboard socket that supports Socket LGA-3647 (Socket P). If replacing an existing CPU, carefully remove the cooler and old processor, following the system maintenance guidelines.
• Handle the 6238L processor with care, avoiding contact with the pins and avoiding any electrostatic discharge. Align the processor with the socket keyed notch and gently seat it into place.
• Secure the CPU with the socket latch, ensuring it is firmly seated. Apply an appropriate amount of thermal interface material (cooling paste) if your cooling solution requires it, then reattach the cooler or heatsink securely.
• Reassemble any removed components, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the BIOS to verify CPU recognition and update firmware or BIOS if recommended by Lenovo for optimal compatibility and stability.
• Power on and monitor temperatures and stability during initial operation. Ensure proper cooling, power delivery, and firmware support are in place to sustain a 140 W TDP workload.
