P02989-L21, HPE DL560 Gen10 Server, Intel Xeon-Gold 6242/16-core/2.8GHz

The HPE P02989-L21 is a server-grade processor kit designed for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 platform. It is built around the Intel Xeon Gold 6242 CPU and targets enterprise workloads that need reliable performance, high memory capacity, and dense virtualization. With 16 cores running at a 2.8 GHz base frequency, the P02989-L21 delivers stable compute power for data center consolidation, private cloud, and business-critical applications in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. Distributors and SMB integrators benefit from a clear, standardized option that fits directly into existing DL560 Gen10 configurations, making stocking, quoting, and deployment easier across different regions.

This HPE processor kit uses the Intel Xeon Scalable Gold series platform, giving IT teams access to Intel Turbo Boost Technology and Hyper-Threading Technology for better peak throughput and improved multi-thread efficiency. With support for Intel VT-x and advanced instruction set extensions such as SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512, the P02989-L21 is well suited for virtualized environments, mixed workload clusters, and compute-intensive tasks like analytics or technical applications. It supports up to 1 TB of DDR4-2933 memory across 6 channels, allowing consolidation of multiple legacy servers onto fewer DL560 Gen10 systems while maintaining performance headroom.

The P02989-L21 runs within a 150W TDP envelope and follows the PCG 2017X thermal specification, helping system builders and integrators plan power and cooling in high-density racks. The FC-LGA14B socket interface ensures tight integration with the DL560 Gen10 board design, while 22 MB of L3 cache helps reduce latency for frequently accessed data. For security-conscious enterprises and service providers, integrated Intel AES New Instructions, Secure Key, vPro Technology, TXT, and Execute Disable Bit add hardware-level protection and management features that support compliance and secure remote operations. This makes the P02989-L21 a strong option for customers who need dependable compute nodes that are easy to manage at scale.

In 2-socket DL560 Gen10 deployments, the P02989-L21 offers balanced performance and capacity for virtualization clusters, line-of-business applications, and core infrastructure roles such as database, ERP, and collaboration platforms. With up to 48 PCI Express lanes available from the CPU platform, integrators can build flexible configurations that combine networking, storage, and accelerator cards without sacrificing bandwidth. For end users, this translates into consistent application response, easier scaling as demands grow, and better return on investment from existing HPE ProLiant infrastructure. Whether you are refreshing an enterprise data center, building a regional cloud presence, or standardizing on a proven x86 platform, the HPE P02989-L21 provides a practical and robust compute foundation.
