HPE Server Processors P06632-L21 | DL20 Gen10 Intel Pentium G5400

HPE P06632-L21 is a DL20 Gen10 Intel Pentium G5400 (3.7GHz/2-core/54W) FIO Processor Kit. Identify it by part number rather than appearance: parts in this class frequently look the same across generations that will not work in each other’s place.

Cooling is the limit, not the socket. The same socket usually accepts processors the chassis cannot cool, so the thermal rating the server supports matters more than whether the part physically fits. A second processor also needs its own heatsink and often a higher-rated fan set, and some chassis require populated memory on the second bank before the processor is recognised.

How we supply it. Supplied new where available, otherwise as tested stock with warranty, subject to availability. Send us the host model along with the part number and we will check compatibility before you commit. We reply by the next working day.

The P06632-L21 kit fits a Intel Pentium G5400 to the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 — 2 cores at 3.7 GHz within 54 W.

Specifications

A Pentium in a server

The Pentium option is the entry point of HPE’s smallest ProLiant range. Two cores and a low power draw make it suitable for a server whose job is to sit quietly and be reliable rather than to work hard. Check ECC memory support against your requirements before choosing it over a Xeon part.

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 Gen10.

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

• 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.
