Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HPE 726988-B21 processor kit compatible with all Gen9 blade servers? +
The 726988-B21 is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen9 server blade. While it utilizes the Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 architecture, we recommend verifying your existing system board and firmware compatibility to ensure optimal performance and thermal management within your specific blade chassis configuration.
What are the primary performance specifications of the Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 included in this kit? +
This processor features 12 physical cores and 24 threads, offering a base clock speed of 2.5GHz. With a 30MB smart cache and a 120W TDP, it provides a robust balance of multi-threaded compute power and energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for virtualized environments and high-density enterprise application hosting.
How does upgrading to the E5-2680v3 processor impact my BL460c Gen9 server capacity? +
Upgrading to this processor kit allows you to leverage the Haswell-EP architecture, significantly increasing the computational throughput compared to lower-tier E5-2600 v3 series CPUs. This provides the necessary headroom for scaling virtual machines and managing intensive database workloads within your ProLiant blade infrastructure.
What is included in the 726988-B21 processor kit for the BL460c Gen9? +
The 726988-B21 kit includes the Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 processor, the necessary thermal grease, and the appropriate heatsink assembly designed specifically for the airflow requirements of the BL460c Gen9 chassis. Using the manufacturer-provided thermal solution ensures the processor operates within safe temperature thresholds under heavy enterprise loads.
Can I install two of these 726988-B21 kits into a single BL460c Gen9 blade? +
Yes, the HPE BL460c Gen9 is designed to support dual-processor configurations. If you choose to install two 726988-B21 kits, ensure that both processors are identical in stepping and revision to maintain system stability and prevent hardware errors during the POST process or normal operation.
Does this processor require a specific BIOS version for the BL460c Gen9? +
While the BL460c Gen9 architecture supports the E5-2680v3 natively, it is best practice to update your server's System ROM to the latest available HPE version prior to installation. This ensures microcode updates and power management features are fully optimized for this specific CPU, preventing potential compatibility issues during boot.
What are the main deployment scenarios for the E5-2680v3 in a blade environment? +
The E5-2680v3 is ideally suited for private cloud environments, high-performance virtualization clusters, and enterprise-grade ERP systems. Its 12-core design offers the right combination of high clock speed and thread count to handle concurrent tasks efficiently within a dense blade server footprint, maximizing the utility of your c7000 or Synergy chassis.
How should I handle the thermal management when adding the 726988-B21 to my server? +
When installing this processor kit, ensure that the airflow baffles within the BL460c Gen9 are correctly seated. Since the E5-2680v3 has a 120W TDP, proper seating of the heatsink and uniform application of the thermal interface material are critical to maintaining peak performance and preventing thermal throttling during sustained enterprise operations.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for the HPE 726988-B21 from BuyRouterSwitch.com? +
