IBM Xeon E5-2630L v2 server processor

This IBM part 46W4226 delivers an Intel Xeon E5-2630L v2 with six cores and twelve threads running at 2.4 GHz. The 15 MB L3 cache supports multi-threaded server workloads in compatible LGA 771 platforms. It is sold as a bare processor for system integrators and replacement scenarios.

Bare processor with 60W thermal envelope

The unit ships without a heatsink or fan, so a suitable cooling solution must be sourced separately. A 60W TDP and 7.2 GT/s QPI link define the thermal and interconnect budget for dual-socket board layouts. The LGA 771 socket requirement limits installation to validated server mainboards only.

Replaces failed or slower LGA 771 Xeon

This processor upgrades or replaces an existing LGA 771 Xeon where six cores and 15 MB cache are required. Buyers needing more than twelve threads or a different socket cannot use this part. The jump is worth it when a validated 60W six-core unit restores service in a qualified server chassis.

Questions about this item

What QPI speed does the E5-2630L v2 use and what system bandwidth does it cap?

The processor runs a 7.2 GT/s QPI link, which caps inter-socket bandwidth at that rate in a dual-processor server.

What socket and cooler clearance does the 46W4226 require for physical installation?

It fits an LGA 771 socket; the bare processor ships without a heatsink so you must supply a cooler rated for 60 W TDP that clears the server chassis.

How is the processor seated and what step do installers often miss with a bare CPU?

Align the notches, lower the chip into the LGA 771 socket and close the load plate; the common miss is forgetting to apply thermal paste before mounting the separate cooler.
