HPE Opteron 6348 12-core upgrade

This refurbished HPE processor upgrade adds a 12-core AMD Opteron 6348 running at 2.80 GHz to compatible servers. It targets administrators who need more parallel throughput for virtualisation or database workloads on existing G34-socket platforms. The 32 nm design delivers 12 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache within a 115 W thermal envelope.

Replaces earlier Opteron 6300 series CPUs

The 6348 steps up from lower-core-count models in the same 6300 series, raising thread count to 12 while keeping the same socket and power budget. The jump is worth it when workloads scale across many cores and the server board already supports the G34 LGA-1944 interface. It does not suit builders who need a newer socket or higher single-thread frequency.

Fits HP ProLiant BL465c Gen8 blades

Installation requires an HP ProLiant BL465c Generation 8 server blade with a free Socket G34 LGA-1944 slot and cooling rated for 115 W TDP. The upgrade frees headroom for additional virtual machines or larger datasets without changing the chassis or power infrastructure. It cannot be used in systems that lack the G34 socket or the Gen8 blade form factor.

Questions about this item

Does the 699051-B21 processor fit a Socket G34 LGA-1944 motherboard?

Yes, the 699051-B21 is built for the Socket G34 LGA-1944 interface used on supported HPE ProLiant blades.

What is the correct way to seat the 699051-B21 in a G34 socket, and what step is often missed?

Align the triangle markers, lower the processor straight down without pressure, then close the load plate and engage both retention levers fully; the step often missed is confirming both levers are latched before powering on.

When should the thermal interface material on the 699051-B21 be replaced?

Replace the thermal paste whenever the heatsink is removed or if the 115 W TDP causes temperatures to approach the 70.4 °C thermal specification limit.
