HPE 712508-L21 Xeon E5-2670 v2 10-core 2.5 GHz processor upgrade
A 10-core Xeon processor upgrade running at 2.5 GHz for HPE server maintenance
- 10-core design handles parallel workloads
- 5 GHz base clock drives responsive compute
- E5-2600 v2 architecture optimises virtualised environments
- Integrated I/O reduces data bottlenecks
- Refurbished processor extends server value
Ten-core Xeon server processor
The HPE 712508-L21 is a refurbished Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor upgrade with ten cores running at 2.5 GHz. It belongs to the E5-2600 v2 product series and is designed as a Field Installable Option for compatible HPE servers. The part provides deca-core processing capacity for virtualisation and high-performance computing workloads.
Suits virtualisation and HPC clusters
This upgrade suits administrators expanding capacity in qualified HPE Gen8 servers that support the E5-2600 v2 family. It is not for desktop PCs, workstations or any platform outside the validated HPE server list, nor for buyers who need a new-in-box processor.
2.5 GHz base frequency
The processor operates at a 2.5 GHz base clock across its ten cores, which determines the baseline throughput for compute-intensive tasks. Match this frequency to the thermal and power envelope of the target server before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 712508-L21 Xeon E5-2670 v2 is running at its rated 2.5 GHz after installation?
Enter the server BIOS or UEFI on first boot and verify the processor model reads E5-2670 v2 with a core speed of 2.5 GHz and all 10 cores detected.
What ships with the 712508-L21 upgrade and what must be sourced separately?
The box contains the HPE 712508-L21 Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor; a compatible heatsink and thermal interface material for the target server must be obtained separately.
Which E5-2600 v2 processor version should I select for a 10-core 2.5 GHz requirement?
Choose the E5-2670 v2 model 712508-L21, which delivers exactly 10 cores at 2.5 GHz within the E5-2600 v2 series.
