That is correct. Unlike some of our older server models where we had different revisions to the model that had different motherboards and processors supported, there is only one version of the R720xd and it supported all of the processors with that BIOS update. Page 21 [URL]
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.
Will an Intel E5-2600 v2 series processor be compatible in an R720xd server 
with a non-v2 processor?
