IBM Xeon E5606 Processor Module
This IBM module integrates a quad-core Xeon E5606 processor running at 2.13 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 8 MB L3 cache. It fits a socket FCLGA1366 and operates within an 80 W thermal envelope on a 32 nm process. The unit suits technicians maintaining compatible IBM blade or rack systems that require this specific processor configuration.
Replaces Failed or Slower E5606 CPUs
The module serves as a direct replacement for an identical E5606 part that has failed or for a lower-frequency quad-core in the same socket family where the 4.8 GT/s QPI link is supported. The jump is worthwhile when the existing CPU is defective or when the workload demands the exact cache hierarchy and thermal profile of this 80 W part. It is not for builds needing higher core counts, different socket types or newer instruction sets.
Highlights
- Quad-core Xeon handles parallel workloads
- 13 GHz base clock drives responsive compute
- 8 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency
- 80 W TDP fits standard thermal envelopes

Questions about this item
What socket does the Xeon E5606 processor in this switch module require?
The processor uses an FCLGA1366 socket, so the system board must provide that exact socket type.
What is the correct orientation step when seating the processor into the FCLGA1366 socket?
Align the notches on the processor with the socket keys, lower it straight down without force, then close the retention lever to secure it.
