Hi,
A client has an Intel server SR2600URLX, containing a S5520UR motherboard.
We want to upgrade the processors from E5506 to X5670/80/90.
I am receiving conflicting information from official Intel suppliers here (they do not know if these processors will work on that platform).
On the server system support page - compatibility with processors, X56xx are not listed:
ARK | Intel® Server System SR2600URLX - compatible products/processors.
However, on X5670 and X5680 support pages at least, they are compatible with S5520UR motherboard, but not with the whole server?
Also, this document:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-030213.htm
leads me to believe all 3 processors X5670, X5680, X5690 should work on this system, with enhanced cooling solution BXSTS100C ?
Can I get an official answer for this please? If the processors don't fit, what would be the top two available processors for this system?
Thank you very much!
Tudor
