HPE Xeon E5-2650 v2 Processor Upgrade

This refurbished HPE processor upgrade fits compatible HPE servers using the E5-2600 v2 series. It delivers eight cores operating at 2.60 GHz for virtualisation, cloud services and high-performance computing workloads. The part number 712726-L21 identifies the specific FIO server upgrade kit.

Suited for admins refreshing older HPE ProLiant

Buyers who need a newer instruction set, higher core counts or lower power draw should look elsewhere. This unit does not support current-generation memory channels or the latest virtualisation extensions found in recent Xeon families.

Supplied as a processor upgrade module only

No heatsink, thermal paste, installation tooling or firmware media are included in the kit. The recipient must provide compatible cooling and apply any required BIOS updates from the server vendor before installation.

Questions about this item

What server socket must I already have for the HPE 712726-L21 Xeon E5-2650 v2 2.6GHz processor upgrade to work?

The 712726-L21 is a FIO server processor upgrade designed for HPE systems that support the Xeon E5-2600 v2 product family; verify your server model accepts this specific part number before installation.

How does the 2.60 GHz octa-core E5-2650 v2 behave alongside an existing E5-2600 v2 series processor in a dual-socket board?

When paired with another E5-2600 v2 series CPU, the 2650 v2 will operate at its rated 2.6 GHz with eight cores; both processors must share the same QPI link speed and power envelope for stable multi-socket operation.

How can I confirm the 712726-L21 Xeon upgrade is recognised and running at 2.6 GHz after fitting it?

Check the server BIOS or iLO interface during POST — it should list the E5-2650 v2 by name, show eight cores and report a core speed of 2.6 GHz; operating system tools such as lscpu or Task Manager will then display the same figures.
