DL380p G8 cpu support

Joshua Kaplan_1 — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 17:29:40 GMT

I need to know what processors this server will support at BIOS level P70, which is the latest one on the support page.

If the E5 v3 family is supported, I need to know that, too.

TIA for replies

P70 is the ROM family, that never changes. 2015.07.01 (A) (11 Nov 2015) is the latest released version. Check the quickspec for a listing of supported processors

The DL380 Gen8 running the latest firmware should be able to support up to the E5-2600 v2 processors. The v3 and v4 CPUs use a slightly different socket spec so they will not work. You need the G9 for those.

For specific CPU support, check the quickspecs to make sure it's a supported option and whether you might need additional fans or different PSUs (such as when adding a 2nd CPU).

You probably need a bit more firmware:

Muito bom o contúdo no link que enviou.

Mas fiquei com uma dúvida. Sou obrigado a isntalar um processador Ivy Bridge (E5 v2) se eu atualizar?

Pergunto porque tenho receio de os processadores Ivy Bridege (E5 v2) que tenho não estarem operantes e eu ser obrigado a voltar o processador Sandy Bridge (E5 v1).

Google Translated:

The content in the link you sent is very good.

But I had a doubt. Am I required to install an Ivy Bridge processor (E5 v2) if I upgrade?

I ask because I'm afraid that the Ivy Bridege processors (E5 v2) that I have are not working and I will be forced to return the Sandy Bridge processor (E5 v1).
