Hi there,
we have a customer who failed to mention that they have a CPU intensive application they will need to use quite regularly.
The server we have quoted on and already installed is the 646676-011.
We would like to swap out the current CPU (E5-2620) with either two E5-2643's, or one E5-2687.
I understand we can use the existing 10600 RAM with the 2643's, but we would need to upgrade to 12800 ram for the 2687.
The question I have: "Is it actually possible to swap out the CPU with one of the above?" Note we will not be keeping the existing CPU but replacing it instead.
We have been told by our supplier that it's not a recommended upgrade but I would like to know for sure before we attempt to replace the entire server (which may be an impossible task).
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
