Refurbished HPE Xeon E5-2680 v2 processor upgrade
This refurbished HPE processor upgrade adds a Xeon E5-2680 v2 CPU to compatible servers. The ten-core unit runs at 2.8 GHz and carries part number 718056-L21. It is intended for administrators who need to replace or expand processing capacity in supported HPE systems.
Suits admins replacing a failed CPU.
This module suits IT teams replacing a failed CPU or adding a second processor to an existing dual-socket board qualified for the E5-2600 v2 series. It does not suit anyone building a new server from scratch or upgrading a platform that requires a different socket or chipset generation.
Ten cores at 2.8 GHz define the capacity
The decisive specification is the ten-core design operating at 2.8 GHz. That core count and clock speed set the throughput ceiling for virtualization, cloud services, or high-performance computing tasks on the target platform.

Questions about this item
What server socket must my motherboard provide for the Xeon E5-2680 v2 processor upgrade?
The Xeon E5-2680 v2 processor upgrade requires a compatible server socket on the motherboard; verify the socket type against your system documentation before installation.
Can the 2.8 GHz 10-core Xeon E5-2680 v2 operate alongside an existing E5-2600 v2 series processor in a dual-socket server?
In a dual-socket server the Xeon E5-2680 v2 can run with another E5-2600 v2 series processor provided both CPUs share the same stepping and your BIOS supports mixed steppings.
How can I confirm the Xeon E5-2680 v2 is recognised at its full 2.8 GHz speed after fitting it?
Enter the system BIOS or UEFI on boot and check the processor information screen; it should list the Xeon E5-2680 v2 with 10 cores running at 2.8 GHz.
