Refurbished HP Xeon 12-core processor module in green PCB with gold contacts and silver heatsink

HP Refurbished

HP 725946-L21 Xeon E5-2697 v2 12-core 2.7 GHz 30 MB 130 W switch module

SKU CH-2NW1-S7YW0 MPN 725946-L21

A 12-core Xeon processor kit running at 2.7 GHz with 30 MB cache and 130 W TDP for ProLiant SL2x0s Gen8 servers

  • 12-core Xeon handles heavy parallel workloads
  • 7 GHz base clock delivers steady compute throughput
  • 30 MB smart cache reduces memory latency
  • 130 W TDP fits dense server power budgets

Processor kit for ProLiant SL2x0s Gen8

This HP 725946-L21 kit integrates a 12-core Xeon E5-2697 v2 running at 2.7 GHz with 30 MB Smart Cache. It targets the FCLGA2011 socket on a 22 nm process and carries a 130 W thermal rating. The module suits administrators refreshing compatible Gen8 ProLiant SL2x0s servers.

Refurbished condition affects deployment scope

Supplied as a refurbished unit, the processor kit is intended for maintenance or capacity expansion on existing validated platforms. It does not suit brand-new build projects that mandate factory-sealed components or full original packaging. Buyers needing untouched stock should source a new kit instead.

Questions about this item

What maintenance does the Xeon E5-2697 v2 processor kit require over its service life?

The processor itself has no user-serviceable parts; maintenance is limited to keeping the server chassis fans and heatsinks clear of dust so the 130 W thermal design power stays within safe limits.

Which limit appears first when the 12-core Xeon runs at full load for extended periods?

The 130 W thermal ceiling is reached before any other constraint, so sustained heavy workloads depend on the host server's cooling capacity to avoid throttling.
