DELL 317-9630 Xeon E5-2670 2.6 GHz switch module
An eight-core Xeon processor upgrade running at 2.6 GHz for Dell servers
- Eight-core Xeon processor handles heavy server workloads
- 6 GHz clock speed drives responsive compute performance
- Intel Xeon E5-2600 architecture reduces I/O latency bottlenecks
- Energy-efficient design lowers data-centre operating costs
- Refurbished module delivers proven enterprise reliability
Processor upgrade kit
This is a refurbished Dell-IMSourcing DS processor upgrade carrying part number 317-9630. It supplies an Intel Xeon E5-2670 octa-core processor running at 2.60 GHz for compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. The module is intended as a drop-in replacement to restore or increase compute capacity in supported platforms.
Suitable for server maintenance
IT teams maintaining existing E5-2600 series infrastructure can use this upgrade to replace a failed CPU or add a second processor where the motherboard allows. Buyers who need a different core count, clock speed or a newer processor generation should look at other options because this unit is fixed at eight cores and 2.60 GHz.
Octa-core 2.60 GHz specification
The decisive specification is the eight-core design operating at 2.60 GHz within the Xeon E5-2600 product series. Compatibility depends on the server model and its BIOS support for the E5-2670, so verify the host system qualification list before purchase.

Questions about this item
How does the 2.6 GHz clock speed of the E5-2670 perform inside a server?
The octa-core processor runs at 2.6 GHz base frequency, delivering eight execution threads for multi-threaded workloads such as virtualization or database tasks.
What interface does the Xeon E5-2670 use and what does it limit?
The processor connects through Intel Integrated I/O, which reduces I/O latency by linking PCI Express lanes directly to the CPU cores.
What physical slot and cooling does the 317-9630 module require?
The upgrade is a processor module that installs into a compatible server socket and requires a heatsink rated for the processor thermal design.
