HPE P24471-B21 Intel Xeon Gold 6242R Processor Kit for ProLiant DL380 Gen10

P24471-B21 is HPE's option kit for adding an Intel Xeon Gold 6242R to a ProLiant DL380 Gen10; PartSurfer lists the processor itself as spare P25098-001, with a high-performance heat sink (875071-001) and a standard fan module (875075-001) in the kit. Intel's specifications give the 6242R 20 cores and 40 threads at 3.10 GHz base and 4.10 GHz turbo, 35.75 MB of cache, a 205 W TDP, 2 UPI links and DDR4-2933 memory support up to 1 TB per socket; it is a 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake) part launched in Q1 2020.

HPE ships processors above 130 W, plus a short list of exceptions, with the high-performance heatsink; at 205 W the 6242R kit carries the high-performance one. In HPE's ordering scheme the -L21 number is the first processor in a factory build and the -B21 kit is the second; HPE says the -B21 kit ships with two additional fans, and both sockets must hold the same model. HPE also states that field upgrades from 1st Gen (x1xx) to 2nd Gen (x2xx) processors are not supported, so a 6242R pairs with a server already running 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable processors.

Intel has issued an End of Servicing Updates notice for the 6242R, with updates ending June 30, 2025. To confirm fit, check that the server is a DL380 Gen10 and that any processor already installed is also a 6242R.

This kit adds a Gold 6242R, with the processor under spare P25098-00x; P24473-B21 and P24470-B21 are related kits in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 spare parts.
