HPE Xeon E7-2870 10-core processor upgrade

This refurbished HPE 643749-L21 upgrade kit delivers a Xeon E7-2870 processor with 10 cores running at 2.40 GHz. It is designed for administrators expanding compatible HPE servers in the E7-2800 series to handle demanding database and virtualisation workloads.

Socket and platform constraints

The processor fits only sockets and chipsets qualified for the E7-2800 product line, so it cannot be installed in standard desktop or single-socket server boards. Maximum memory capacity, supported memory speeds and total I/O bandwidth are determined by the host system firmware and cannot exceed the platform limits defined by HPE.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify the exact server model and current BIOS revision against the HPE QuickSpecs for the E7-2800 family to confirm this part number is supported. Ensure the existing power supply and cooling solution meet the thermal design power requirements for a 10-core 2.40 GHz Xeon, and confirm that the operating system licensing covers the additional cores.
