Server-platform compatibility

SP3 systems with EPYC 7002 Rome BIOS/AGESA support and validation for the high-frequency 240 W EPYC 7F52. Check the server maker’s CPU list, VRM/cooling capacity, DIMM rank/population limits and whether the configured platform supports one or two CPUs.

  • Confirm the exact processor SKU appears on the system or motherboard manufacturer’s CPU support list, with the required BIOS/AGESA version and board revision.
  • Check package/carrier, cooling and chassis air path, power delivery, memory QVL and channel population, firmware, and permitted socket configuration. Shared socket names do not establish generation or system compatibility.
  • Before handling, follow the server vendor’s service procedure and use the correct carrier, socket tool and torque sequence. Record OPN, stepping, firmware, DIMM population and thermal configuration for archival testing.
