This kit includes the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 CPU with 12 cores, 24 threads, 2.3 GHz base frequency, up to 3.8 GHz Turbo Boost, 16.5 MB L3 cache and 105 W TDP.
Which HPE servers are compatible with SKU 879581-B21?
The kit is compatible with HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10, DL380 Gen10, DL560 Gen10 and DL580 Gen10 servers that support LGA3647 CPU sockets.
How does this kit improve server performance?
By upgrading to the Xeon Gold 5118, you gain 12 cores/24 threads, higher clock speeds and larger cache for up to 30% better compute performance in virtualization, analytics and database workloads.
What memory configurations are supported with the Xeon-G 5118?
The processor supports six DDR4 memory channels at 2666 MT/s with up to 1.5 TB total capacity, enabling large in-memory databases and high-performance virtualization.
Does the kit include cooling components?
Yes. It ships with an HPE-designated heatsink and fan assembly optimized for the 105 W TDP of the Xeon Gold 5118.
Will the upgrade affect my HPE iLO management features?
No. After installation, HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) continues to provide remote management, firmware updates and health monitoring without interruption.
Is this kit ideal for virtualization and container workloads?
Yes. With 24 threads and high memory bandwidth, the kit accelerates VMware, Hyper-V, Kubernetes and Docker workloads, improving VM density and container performance.
How do I install the HPE XL1x0r Gen10 Xeon-G 5118 Kit?
Power down the server, open the chassis, remove the existing CPU and heatsink, seat the new Xeon Gold 5118 into the LGA3647 socket, attach the provided heatsink and close the chassis following HPE installation guidelines.
What power and cooling requirements should I consider?
Ensure adequate airflow: the Xeon Gold 5118 has a 105 W TDP. Use HPE fan modules rated for Gen10 servers and verify your power supply supports the increased CPU consumption.
