Server processor for data-centre upgrades

The refurbished IBM 81Y9294 is an Intel Xeon E5-2609 quad-core processor designed for compatible Lenovo servers. It provides four cores at 2.40 GHz for organisations refreshing older E5-2600 platform hardware.

Capacity and headroom

Four cores and DDR3 1600 integrated memory controller speed handle basic virtualisation and legacy workloads. The part runs out of steam on heavily threaded applications that demand higher core counts or faster memory bandwidth.

Quad-core 2.40 GHz specification

The decisive figure is the 2.40 GHz clock across four cores within the E5-2600 product family. Buyers needing more cores or a newer platform must select a different processor.

Questions about this item

Will the Xeon E5-2609 at 2.4 GHz work with my existing DDR3 1600 memory?

The integrated memory controller is rated for DDR3 1600, so modules of that speed will run at their rated frequency.

How can I confirm the quad-core 2.40 GHz processor is recognised after installation?

Check the BIOS POST screen or operating-system CPU information; it should show four cores at 2.40 GHz under the Xeon E5-2609 name.

Does the 81Y9294 package include a heatsink or thermal paste, or must I buy them separately?

The processor upgrade is supplied without a heatsink or thermal compound; both must be sourced separately for your server chassis.
