Two sockets - different microarchitecture Xeon E5-2600 + E5-2600v2

[MMich33]

Dear Intel,

I have a two sockets motherboard with chipset C602. Currently I am running only 1xCPU Intel Xeon E5-2609. Could I add Intel Xeon E5-2609v2 in the second socket? Or do I need to replace also the first one to run 2x E5-2609v2.

Best Regards,

Michal

Hello Tola,

In order to get a server working with a dual CPU configuration, it is required to use the exact same model of processor with the same stepping.If you would like to get more information about how a dual socket system can be configured, please visit the Servers forums or contact other support services for servers here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-support.html?iid=intelfb http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-support.html?iid=intelfb
