Will an Intel E5-2600 v2 series processor be compatible in an R720xd server with a non-v2 processor?

In a Dell PowerEdge R720xd.. We have some that came with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 processors. Does anyone know if those can be switched out with the intel E5-2600 v2 series processors, such as E5-2650v2? Or would a newer motherboard be required?

I’m reminded of the 11th gen Dell servers, like the R610 and R710. The Type I motherboards support all the 5500 and 5600 series CPUs, except for the X5680 and X5690. To use those two processors, the motherboard must be a Type II. Updating the BIOS firmware doesn’t resolve that.


Thanks, Dave H.
