HPE 818178-B21 Intel Xeon E5 2650 v4 Processor Kit for HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9
Overview
The HPE 818178-B21 is a factory-kit processor module built for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9 server platform, designed for enterprise workloads in dense rack environments. This kit comprises the Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 processor (12 cores at 2.2 GHz base) and is intended for 2-socket configurations, making it suitable for virtualised servers, database hosts or general -purpose compute nodes in data-centre racks. With a 105 W TDP and compatibility with the LGA2011-v3 socket, it offers a balance of core count, clock rate and power efficiency in HPE’s Gen9 server ecosystem.In deployment, this processor kit integrates into an HPE DL360 Gen9 chassis with proper BIOS revision and cooling assembly; you can pair it with a matching second-socket companion if scaling to dual-socket, or run it solo in a single-socket build for cost-conscious platforms. Given its 12-core design and 30 MB Smart Cache, it handles hyper-consolidation scenarios (many virtual machines per host) or medium-scale database workloads in branch or remote datacentres.From an operational perspective, the 818178-B21 fits into HPE’s established management and service framework (iLO, OneView) when installed in a supporting chassis, making it manageable at scale. For users in markets like Pakistan (Lahore/Punjab) seeking server refreshes or compute nodes, this kit offers proven performance without moving yet to the latest generation platforms — a pragmatic bridge for many enterprise IT shops.
