HPE ProLiant SL335s G7 Processors

Genuine HPE processor option kits for the HPE ProLiant SL335s G7, new and refurbished. The tray takes up to two AMD Opteron 4100 series processors on the AMD SP5100 chipset, and HPE does not support mixing different processor models — so a second CPU has to match the first exactly.

SL335s G7 Processor Specifications

• Sockets: two, on the AMD SP5100 chipset, upgradeable from a single-processor tray to two
• Family: AMD Opteron 4100 series, six-core and quad-core, each part carrying 6MB of shared level 3 cache
• Six-core kits listed: Opteron 4184 at 2.80GHz and 75W, 4176HE at 2.40GHz and 50W, and 4162EE at 1.70GHz and 32W
• Quad-core kit listed: Opteron 4130 at 2.60GHz and 75W
• Memory tie-in: two memory channels per processor with three DIMM slots on each, so a single-processor tray reaches only six of the twelve slots
• Kit contents: every CPU kit listed for this server comes complete with heatsink and fans

A second Opteron does more than add cores. Each processor owns two memory channels with three DIMM slots, so a single-processor tray reaches only six of the twelve slots and the second CPU opens the rest. It must be the same model as the first — HPE does not support mixing processor models — and a full s6500 is sixteen sockets on one shared set of supplies.

Six Cores or Four, and at What Wattage?

On this platform the suffix matters more than the core count. Three of the four kits are six-core parts with the same 6MB of level 3 cache, and what separates them is 2.80GHz at 75 watts against 1.70GHz at 32 watts — the spread the HE and EE letters signal. That gap multiplies in a chassis carrying eight nodes and sixteen sockets on one shared set of supplies. These kits are listed for quotation rather than priced.

Choosing the Right SL335s G7 Processor

• A second processor must match the first. Mixing different processor models is not supported, so moving to two CPUs means two of the same kit unless the fitted one is being replaced.
• A second processor unlocks the other six DIMM slots. With one CPU installed only half the memory slots are available, which is often the real reason to add one.
• Read the letters, not just the number. HE and EE parts trade clock for wattage: 50W and 32W six-core options against 75W for the fastest six-core kit.
• Budget power at the chassis, not the tray. Sixteen sockets in a full s6500 draw on one set of Common Slot supplies, so wattage class is a chassis decision.
• Nothing extra is needed to fit one. Every kit here arrives complete with heatsink and fans, so the tray needs no separate thermal parts.

Processor count sets how much of the memory is reachable and what the chassis has to power — see SL335s G7 memory and s6500 power supplies alongside this page.

SL335s G7 Processors FAQ

Which processors does the SL335s G7 support?
AMD Opteron 4100 series, up to two of them. HPE lists four kits for this server: the six-core 4184 at 2.80GHz, 4176HE at 2.40GHz and 4162EE at 1.70GHz, and the quad-core 4130 at 2.60GHz.

Can I mix different processors in an SL335s G7?
No. HPE does not support mixing different processor models in the same server, so both sockets have to carry the same part.

How much cache do these processors have?
6MB of shared level 3 cache on every one of the four kits listed for this server, whether six-core or quad-core.

Does adding a second processor do anything besides add cores?
Yes. Each processor owns two memory channels with three DIMM slots each, so a single-processor tray can only use six of the twelve slots. The second CPU opens the other six.

Do SL335s G7 processor kits include a heatsink?
Yes. Every CPU kit listed for this server comes complete with heatsink and fans, so no separate thermal parts are needed.

What do the HE and EE letters mean?
They mark the lower-wattage parts. The 4176HE is a 50W six-core and the 4162EE a 32W six-core, against 75W for the 4184, which is the fastest six-core kit listed.
