CPU Compatibility Inquiry for Dell PowerEdge T440 (Motherboard 81VG9)

Hello Dell Support Team,

I hope you’re doing well. I have a Dell PowerEdge T440 server equipped with the 81VG9 motherboard. The system is currently running two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors. I am planning to upgrade both CPUs to Intel Xeon Gold 6242 units and would like to confirm whether these processors are fully compatible with this specific motherboard and system model.

Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on whether I need to update the BIOS, the system firmware, or apply any specific patches before performing the upgrade. I want to ensure that the system will operate correctly and reliably after the CPU replacement.

If there are any recommended procedures, documentation links, or compatibility matrices that I should review before proceeding, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your assistance and support.
