Adding Processor to ML350p Gen8

SGrant — Thu, 11 Jan 2018 15:22:48 GMT

Good morning,

I am a system administrator for a small-medium healthcare organization. We run a Xenserver based Xendesktop enviroment. Recently, one of our branch XenServers failed. This was an HPE Proliean ML350p Gen8 Server e5-2650 x2 Xencenter Server that hosted a DC, and print server. It has been out of warranty since 2015 and exhibitted a solid amber light. I attempted troubleshooting with no success., However, we currently have an undeployed HP Proliant ML240p Gen8 E5-2609V2 X1 (same out of warranty in 2015, but like new condition).

I am attempting to replace the broken e5-2650 x2 with the current working e52609v2, I have installed XenCenter on the newish e5-2609v2 server, however it is very limited in hardware. It only has one CPU with 4 cores and 4 GB of PC3L-10600R RAM. I would like to pull what hardware I can from the non-working Proliant 2650 x2. The RAM seems straight forward enough, I have recovered 16 GB (in 4 GB DIMM) from the non-working server. The RAM is identical according to what I see from HPE.

I would like to pull a processor from the non-working server to upgrade the working (e5-2609v2) server to have more cores available. Is this possible, the processors are the same form factor but I don't think they are the exact same model. Please forgive, I am new to the world of servers and have done this on smaller form factor PCs. I have reviewed instructions here (https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03389498) and this seems straight forward enough (I would need thermal paste)

Is this swap possible? The RAM would boost things greatly but I would like to upgrade the processing power. Thanks

Hi,

Intel Xeon E5-2609 v2, is compatible with this server, but do check the memory configuration.
Here is the ML350p Generation 8 QuickSpecs.

Thank You!
I am a HPE employee
