HPE DL380 GEN10 Xeon-g 5218 Reman KIT - P02498R-B21

HPE P02498R-B21 Remanufactured Xeon Gold 5218 Processor Kit

Overview

The HPE P02498R-B21 is a remanufactured processor kit pairing the Intel Xeon Gold 5218 with the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 platform. The 'R' suffix designates HPE's factory-remanufactured program — these units are inspected, tested, and recertified to meet original performance specifications, making them a cost-effective path to expanding or replacing compute capacity in existing DL380 Gen10 deployments without sourcing new components at full list price. If you're adding a second processor socket to a single-socket DL380 Gen10, or replacing a failed CPU in a production server, P02498R-B21 is the HPE-sanctioned remanufactured option for this specific processor grade.

Compatibility

This kit is designed for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server platform. The Xeon Gold 5218 is a 16-core, 32-thread Cascade Lake processor operating at a 2.3 GHz base frequency with a 125W TDP — confirm your DL380 Gen10 chassis, power supply, and cooling configuration support the thermal envelope before installing. The DL380 Gen10 supports dual-socket configurations; if populating the second socket, both processors must be identical models. Verify HPE's QuickSpecs for DL380 Gen10 to confirm BIOS revision requirements for this processor stepping, as some early Gen10 systems require a firmware update prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Processor kit installation on DL380 Gen10 requires an ESD-safe workspace and compliance with HPE's documented CPU replacement procedure. Thermal interface material is typically included with HPE processor kits — confirm contents before reusing existing compound. BIOS/system ROM updates may be required; consult the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) for the appropriate firmware baseline before commissioning. Unit weight is 1.13 lb.
