Processor upgrade for HPE servers

This refurbished HPE 712741-L21 module upgrades compatible servers with an Intel Xeon E5-2609 v2 quad-core processor running at 2.5 GHz. It targets administrators refreshing E5-2600 v2 platforms in data-centre or virtualisation roles. The part is sold as a processor upgrade unit rather than a complete server.

No accessories or software included

The listing supplies the processor upgrade module only. No heatsink, thermal material, firmware media or licence keys are bundled. Installation relies on existing server cooling and management infrastructure already present in the target chassis.

Suits E5-2600 v2 maintenance, not new builds

This module fits IT teams maintaining qualified HPE servers that already support the E5-2600 v2 family. It does not suit builders assembling new systems, users needing higher core counts or different socket platforms, or anyone without a compatible server chassis and BIOS support.

Questions about this item

Will the HPE 712741-L21 Xeon E5-2609 v2 processor require thermal paste replacement during server maintenance?

The Xeon E5-2609 v2 processor uses standard thermal interface material between the heat spreader and heatsink; replacement is only needed if the heatsink is removed during service.

What thermal limit throttles the Xeon E5-2609 v2 2.5 GHz processor first under sustained full-load operation?

The processor will throttle when its internal thermal sensor reaches the maximum junction temperature defined by Intel for the E5-2600 v2 series.

How much power does the HPE 712741-L21 Xeon E5-2609 v2 draw and how loud is the cooler when running continuously?

The quad-core Xeon E5-2609 v2 has a rated TDP that determines both power draw and the minimum airflow the server fans must provide for continuous operation.
