P10959-B21 HPE ML350 Gen10 Xeon Gold 5215M Processor Kit

P10959-B21 is the HPE ML350 Gen10 Intel Xeon-Gold 5215M processor kit. The Gold 5215M has 10 cores at 2.5 GHz and an 85 W rating, and it belongs to the 5200 series of the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable family, code-named Cascade Lake.

Two UPI links run at 10.4 GT/s and the six DDR4 channels run at 2666 MT/s. The 5200 series adds Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, AVX-512 with one 512-bit FMA unit, 48 lanes of PCIe 3.0, advanced RAS and VNNI/DL Boost. The socket is FCLGA3647.

In a configure-to-order ML350 Gen10 this -B21 kit is the second processor, and it is also the kit for a second-processor field upgrade. The first processor comes from the P10959-L21 kit, and HPE does not allow two different processor models in one server. Adding the second processor means adding the Redundant Fan Cage Kit (874572-B21) as well. The 85 W rating keeps the standard heatsink, because only processors above 85 W use the Performance heatsink.

The same 2.5 GHz, 10-core, 85 W profile also comes in the ML350 Gen10 as the Gold 5215 (P10943-B21) and the Gold 5215L (P10964-B21).

The spare processor is P11626-001, an Intel Xeon Gold 5215M ten-core 2.50 GHz Cascade Lake processor with an 85 W thermal design power and socket FCLGA3647.

More processor kits for ProLiant servers are in HPE server processors.
