Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz 2 MB L2 800 MHz FSB 604-pin 90 nm switch module
A 2.8 GHz Xeon processor with 2 MB L2 cache and 800 MHz FSB for Socket 604 systems
- 8 GHz Xeon clock drives responsive server workloads
- 2 MB L2 cache reduces latency for frequent data access
- 800 MHz front-side bus enables high-throughput system communication
- 604-pin micro-FCPGA socket fits compatible server boards
Server processor for legacy platforms
The Intel Xeon processor runs at 2.8 GHz with 2 MB L2 cache and an 800 MHz front-side bus. It uses a 604-pin micro-FCPGA socket and is built on a 90 nm process. This new-old-stock unit suits maintenance of compatible rackmount or pedestal servers.
Direct drop-in for failed identical CPUs
The module replaces a failed Xeon of the same socket, clock and cache without firmware changes. Upgrading from a slower 604-pin Xeon is worthwhile when the board supports the 800 MHz bus and the thermal envelope matches. Systems needing newer instruction sets or higher core counts cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
Which socket does the Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz processor require?
The processor uses a 604-pin Micro-FCPGA socket, so the motherboard must provide that exact socket type.
What is a common installation mistake with this 604-pin Micro-FCPGA Xeon?
Not aligning the pin-one corner before seating the chip; the keyed corner must match the socket notch or pins will bend.
