Lenovo 7XG7A05536 Processor Option Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 7XG7A05536 is an Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processor designed to upgrade or replace the CPU in compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, specifically the SR630 model. This 12-core processor delivers robust performance for demanding workloads in enterprise environments, offering a 2.3 GHz base clock speed that can boost up to 3.2 GHz. Its 16.5 MB L3 cache and support for DDR4 memory ensure efficient data handling for virtualization, databases, and compute-intensive applications. This processor is a component for server/workstation deployments requiring enhanced processing power.

Compatibility

This processor option kit is specifically designed for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 server. It utilizes the LGA 3647 (Socket P) interface, compatible with Intel's 1st Generation Xeon Scalable processor family (codenamed Skylake). Ensure your server's motherboard and BIOS support the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processor before installation to guarantee proper functionality and performance.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful handling of the processor and adherence to the server's service manual. The processor features a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 105W, necessitating adequate server cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent thermal throttling. Proper application of thermal paste (if not pre-applied) and correct seating in the LGA 3647 socket are critical for stable operation.
