HPE Xeon E5-2630L hexa-core upgrade

This HPE 662079-B21 accessory is a refurbished Intel Xeon E5-2630L processor with six cores running at 2 GHz. It belongs to the E5-2600 product family and serves as a direct upgrade for compatible HPE server platforms. The unit is silver in colour and classified as an interface processor for system integration.

Suits administrators refreshing E5-2600 systems

This processor suits IT teams maintaining existing HPE servers that support the E5-2600 series and need a six-core option for virtualization or compute tasks. It is not for builders assembling new platforms requiring current-generation sockets, higher core counts, or different instruction-set extensions beyond what this model provides.

Verify socket and firmware compatibility first

Before ordering, confirm the server board accepts this specific Xeon E5-2630L model and that the system BIOS or firmware revision supports it. Check the thermal design power allowance and heatsink clearance in the target chassis. Ensure the part number 662079-B21 matches the vendor's qualified hardware list for the exact server model.

Questions about this item

Which HPE server sockets accept the 662079-B21 Xeon E5-2630L processor upgrade?

The 662079-B21 is a socket-compatible upgrade for HPE servers designed around the Intel Xeon E5-2600 product family; consult your server quick-specs to confirm the exact model supports a hexa-core 2 GHz processor.

Can the E5-2630L run alongside an existing E5-2600 series CPU in a dual-socket board?

Yes, the E5-2630L is part of the same Xeon E5-2600 series, so it can pair with another E5-2600 processor in a dual-socket configuration provided both CPUs share the same QPI links and your BIOS supports mixed stepping.

How do I verify the 662079-B21 is recognised at its rated 2 GHz after installation?

Power on the server, enter the BIOS or iLO interface, and check the processor information screen — it should list the part number 662079-B21, six cores, and a 2 GHz base frequency.
