HPE 718045-L21 – Intel Xeon E5‑2697 v2 Processor Kit
Overview :
The HPE 718045-L21 is a factory‑integrated processor kit for HPE BladeSystem c‑Class servers, targeted at IT infrastructure engineers working in enterprise or data centre environments. It carries the Intel Xeon E5‑2697 v2 12‑core processor running at 2.7 GHz base frequency (with up to 3.5 GHz turbo), and is designed to increase compute density within a dual‑socket blade or rack server. It is suitable for deployment in devices such as the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server blade in c3000 or c7000 enclosures in campus, branch or data centre settings. The processor kit fits into a socket R LGA2011 server platform and supports memory channels, high thread‑count workloads and enterprise virtualisation or compute‑intensive tasks when paired with the appropriate blade and SYS‑RAID controller or interconnect modules.
