Summary
Establish best configuration practices on Intel® Server Board S2600ST Family dual-socket boards.
Description
Combining Intel® Xeon® Gold Processor with Intel® Xeon® Bronze Processor in the same Intel® Server Board S2600ST Family dual-socket board
Resolution
Intel® Server Board S2600ST Family boards may support dual-processor configurations consisting of different processors that meet the defined criteria. However, Intel does not perform validation testing of this configuration.
In addition, Intel does not guarantee that a server system configured with unmatched processors will operate reliably.
For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations, Intel recommends that identical processors be installed.
For the processor rules combination:
- Both processors must have the same number of cores.
- Both processors must have the same cache sizes for all levels of processor cache memory.
- Both processors must support identical DDR4 frequencies.
- Both processors must have identical:
- Extended family
- Extended model
- Processor type
- Family code
- Model number
