871061-L21

HPE 871061-L21 is a DL20 Gen9 Intel core i3-6300 (3.8 GHz/2-core/4MB/51 W) FIO Processor Kit. It belongs to the Server Processor range.

Matching the server. Processor kits are tied to a server generation and often to a specific chassis. Where a second processor is being added, the kit usually has to come with the matching heatsink and sometimes extra fans, and both processors must be the same model. Check the maximum thermal rating the chassis supports before choosing.

How we supply it. Supplied new where available, otherwise as tested stock with warranty, subject to availability. Tell us the chassis or model it has to work with and we will confirm the part before anything ships. Quotes go out the same or next working day.

The 871061-L21 kit fits a Intel Core i3-7300 to the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen9.

Specifications

We would rather confirm the core count, clock and power figures for your specific kit than publish an approximation you might order against. Ask and you will have them the same day.

A Core i3 in a server

HPE offered Core i3 options on its smallest ProLiant models as the cheapest way into a genuine server chassis with server management. It is a sensible choice for a very light role — a small file share, a backup target, a single application — but it is a desktop-class processor and does not support the ECC memory a Xeon part does. If data integrity matters, step up to a Xeon.

This is an L21 factory-installed kit

The -L21 part number is HPE’s FIO (factory-installed option) kit, ordered alongside a configure-to-order server so the processor arrives already fitted with its heatsink and airflow parts. The matching -B21 is the standard option kit for a server you already own. Same processor either way; the supply route differs. Upgrading an existing machine? Ask us for the -B21.

Fitment

HPE lists this kit for the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen9.

This is a single-socket processor. There is no second socket to fill, which also means the processor you choose now is the one the machine keeps.

Worth checking before you order

• Ask us for the core count, clock and TDP before you order. We will confirm them from HPE’s documentation for this exact part number rather than have you work from a figure found elsewhere.
• Check ECC memory support against your requirements. This is not a Xeon part, and for anything where data integrity matters that distinction is the one that counts.
• Memory is populated per processor. Plan the DIMM layout alongside the processor, since an unbalanced configuration costs real bandwidth.
• Update system firmware before or alongside a processor change. A server on older firmware may not recognise a newer stepping.
• Not certain this is the right part? Give us the server’s product or serial number and what it runs, and we will confirm the processor and quote the alternatives.
