For alternatives, consult the help page.1.Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out 2. Use the Extract option to save the .bin file. ?The latest component can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/support/ilo2. ?This component is also available on the HP ProLiant Firmware Maintenance CD. 2.Specify the location of the firmware, or use the Browse button to locate it. Example: C:\ilo2_yyy.bin 3.Send the data to iLO 2. Press Enter or click the Send firmware image button after the file has been specified. 4.The firmware is received by iLO 2. 5.iLO 2 validates the firmware image. This step prevents corrupt or invalid firmware from being installed. 6.iLO 2 flashes the firmware image. This step may take a few minutes. During the flash step, iLO 2 is unresponsive. Do not power cycle the server while iLO 2 firmware is being programmed. 7.iLO 2 resets. Resume normal use of iLO 2 with updated firmware after 60 seconds. Resetting iLO 2 will require you to close and re-open your browser to connect to iLO 2 once it has restarted. ********************** CPU ********************** HPE ProLiant ML350 G6 E5620 1P 6GB-R P410i/256 460 W RPS Tower Server Model=594869-xx1 BaseModels HPE ProLiant ML350 G6 X5650 2P 12GB-R P410i/1GB FBWC 750 W RPS Tower Server Model=594874-xx1 Performance Models Two Quad-Core/Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® 5500 processors Up to 6.4GT/s QPI system speed Intel® 5520 chipset ------------------- Some Processor Models ------------------- XEON X5660 2.8Ghz 6 cores DDR3 12MB L3 cache 12 Threads XEON X5620 2.4Ghz 4 cores 5.86GT/s DDR3 12MB L3 cache 8 Threads XEON X5570 2.93Ghz 4 cores DDR3 8MB L3 cache 8 Threads Intel® Xeon® Processor X5675 (3.0 GHz, 12MB L3 Cache, 95W, DDR3-1333, 6 Cores Intel® Xeon® Processor X5660 (2.8 GHz, 12MB L3 Cache, 95W, DDR3-1333, 6 Cores Intel® Xeon® Processor X5570 (2.93 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 95W, DDR3-1333, HT, Turbo 2/2/3/3) 4 Cores Intel® Xeon® Processor X5560 (2.80 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 95W, DDR3-1333, HT, Turbo 2/2/3/3) 4 Cores Intel® Xeon® Processor X5550 (2.66 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 95W, DDR3-1333, HT, Turbo 2/2/3/3) 4 Cores 601250-B21 HP ML350 G6 Dual-Core Intel Xeon E5503 (2.0GHz, 4MB, 80W) 495920-B21 HP ML350 G6 Dual-Core Intel Xeon E5502 (1.86GHz, 4MB, 80W) 638320-B21 HP ML350 G6 Dual-Core Intel Xeon E5603 (2.00GHz, 4MB, 80W) Proliant ML350 G6 Quad-Core Xeon Processor 638314-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon X5672 (3.20GHz, 12MB, 95W) 495904-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon X5570 (2.93GHz, 8MB, 95W) 495906-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon X5560 (2.80GHz, 8MB, 95W) 601242-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5640 (2.66GHz, 12MB, 80W) 495908-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon X5550 (2.66GHz, 8MB, 95W) 601244-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5630 (2.53GHz, 12MB, 80W) 495910-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5540 (2.53GHz, 8MB, 80W) 601246-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5620 (2.40GHz, 12MB, 80W) 495912-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5530 (2.40GHz, 8MB, 80W) 495914-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5520 (2.26GHz, 8MB, 80W) 601248-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5507 (2.26GHz, 4MB, 80W) 505513-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon L5520 (2.26GHz, 8MB, 60W) 601252-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon L5630 (2.13GHz, 12MB, 40W) 638319-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5606 (2.13GHz, 4MB, 80W) 495916-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5506 (2.13GHz, 4MB, 80W) 495902-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon L5506 (2.13GHz, 4MB, 60W) 495918-B21 HP ML350 G6 Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5504 (2.00GHz, 4MB, 80W) Proliant ML350 G6 Six-Core Xeon Processor 638315-B21 HP ML350 G6 Six-Core Intel Xeon X5675 (3.06GHz, 12MB, 95W) 601236-B21 HP ML350 G6 Six-Core Intel Xeon X5670 (2.93GHz, 12MB, 95W) 601238-B21 HP ML350 G6 Six-Core Intel Xeon X5660 (2.80GHz, 12MB, 95W) 601240-B21 HP ML350 G6 Six-Core Intel Xeon X5650 (2.66GHz, 12MB, 95W) 638316-B21 HP ML350 G6 Six-Core Intel Xeon E5649 (2.53GHz, 12MB, 80W) 638317-B21 HP ML350 G6 Six-Core Intel Xeon E5645 (2.40GHz, 12MB, 80W) fan part number 511774-001 ProLiant ML350 G6 Processor CPU Heatsink 499258-001 508876-001 490073-001 Heatsinks (mine=499258-001) ------------------- QPI Speed ------------------- GT/s ------------------- LGA vs PGA ------------------- PGA Pins Grid Array mostly found in ARM processors pins on processor LGA Land Grid Array intel switched to LGA from 2002 points on processor BGA Ball Grid Array LGA1151 Socket 1151 pins 1366 1366 pins LGA2066 socket 2066 pins AMD AM4 socket 1331 pins AMD TR4 socket 4096 pins ------------------- Processor Core ------------------- Westmere-EP Nehalem-EP -------------------No. of Processor Cores ------------------- 1 2 4 6 8 ------------------- Processor Core ------------------- TDP total Dissipated Power ------------------- Processor Threads ------------------- 8 12 ------------------- Processor Cache Memory ------------------- Level 1 L2 1MB L3 8MB, 12MB ------------------- Integration Level------------------- integration abbreviation No. of Transistors Transistor Size (nm) SSI small scale MSI medium scale LSI large scale VLSI very Large scale ********************** RAID Controller ********************** battery backed up HP P410i 256 MB 512 MB ********************** Memory ********************** https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=c01727710 Up to 144GB, using PC3-8500R DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) memory, operating at 800MHz when fully populated at 3 DIMMs per Channel in 18 slots.

You will need to install a VRM(Voltage Regulatory Module) which is shipped with the new CPU. The slot for the VRM is usually next to the CPU or you can refer the Maintenance manual for the exact location. One thing you need to be careful of before you buy the new CPU is the stepping level(version) of the current CPU as the version difference between two CPUs cannot be more than one. Hope this helps and if does please rate the solution as it helps me more of our freinds. Sorry for the earlier information, you were right, for ML350 G6 you dont need any additional hardware to be installed along with the add on CPU, but please refere the below information given in the document which is equally important. Do not mix single-, dual-, or quad-core processors or processors with different speeds or cache sizes.
