Quad-core Xeon E5-2603 processor upgrade running at 1.8 GHz for HPE servers

  • Product typeProcessor Upgrade
  • Quad-core design handles parallel workloads efficiently
  • 8 GHz base frequency provides steady compute performance
  • Intel Xeon E5-2600 series built for data-centre flexibility
  • Integrated I/O reduces latency for smoother operations
  • HPE part 662254-B21 ensures genuine server compatibility

HPE Xeon E5-2603 quad-core processor

The HPE Xeon E5-2603 is a 1.8 GHz quad-core processor upgrade designed for servers in the E5-2600 product family. It targets administrators who need to add or replace a CPU in compatible HPE systems. The 662254-B21 part number identifies this specific Intel Xeon model for procurement and inventory tracking.

Fits E5-2600 platform sockets

This processor upgrade installs into motherboards built for the Intel Xeon E5-2600 series, freeing budget by extending the life of existing server chassis and memory. It requires a matching socket and chipset already present in qualified HPE servers. Buyers who need higher core counts or faster clock speeds for intensive workloads should verify their platform supports other E5-2600 models.

Sustained 1.8 GHz operation under load

The four cores maintain a steady 1.80 GHz frequency during continuous tasks such as virtualization hosting or database serving. Thermal design matches the E5-2600 family envelope so cooling solutions qualified for the platform handle prolonged throughput. Systems requiring burst frequencies above the base clock will not see higher speeds from this specific 2603 model.
