Can PowerEdge R520 upgrade processor to E5-2695v2?
My company are planning to upgrade our PowerEdge R520 processor from E5-2407 to E5-2495v2.The question is, can R520 support E5-2695v2 processor?based on r520 owner manual show that it can support "One or two Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E5-2400 v2 product family" refer R520 Owner manual . If yes, can I just upgrade the processor or I need to upgrade BIOS firmware that support the processor?
If E5-2695v2 processor is not supported can someone suggest or give a list of processor that R520 support.
Thanks.

Hello syedhannan27,
Looks like E5-26xx v2 support was added in BIOS version: 2.7.0
But update to the latest before upgrading processor:
Dell Server BIOS PowerEdge R520 Version 2.9.0

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi @DerpOTron9000
You are correct. R520 does not support E5 26XX series as the socket is different. I've informed my co-worker about it and is aware of the information. Apologies and thank you for pointing that out.
