Server Processor Upgrade
The HPE 709487-B21 is a refurbished Xeon E5-2680 v2 processor upgrade featuring 10 cores operating at 2.80 GHz. It belongs to the E5-2600 v2 product family and is intended for compatible HPE server platforms requiring a deca-core CPU.
Compatibility Check
Verify that your server motherboard supports the E5-2600 v2 series and the specific socket required for this model. Confirm the system BIOS revision meets the minimum version needed for the E5-2680 v2 before installation. Ensure the thermal solution and power delivery are rated for this processor.
Ideal Use Cases
This upgrade suits administrators refreshing older HPE servers for virtualization or cloud workloads where a 10-core Xeon is specified. It is not for buyers needing a new condition processor or those whose platforms require a different CPU generation or core count.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the 709487-B21 Xeon processor and what else is needed?
The package contains the HPE 709487-B21 Xeon E5-2680 v2 processor. A compatible server system, memory modules, cooling solution and thermal interface material must be sourced separately.
Which version of the E5-2600 v2 series should I choose for ten cores at 2.80 GHz?
The E5-2680 v2 model delivers ten cores at 2.80 GHz. Select this part when the workload requires that specific core count and clock speed within the v2 product line.
What does the 2.80 GHz figure mean once the processor is installed in a server?
The 2.80 GHz rating is the base operating frequency of all ten cores. Actual speeds vary with workload, thermal conditions and the server firmware power profile.
