[cisco-voip] Processors on the UCS blades.

If you go outside of the TRC's, you then fall under spec's based. The docwiki has good information on this.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Processors on the UCS blades.

We recently put our UC on a UCS system.

We bought specific blades for the UC system (B200 M2's), specifically TRC #2. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5640 @ 2.67GHz

The datacenter operators upgraded a different server, and now they have extra Intel X5550 that they are offering me.

So two questions.
Would I still be supported (maybe under some other umbrella) if the processors were switched out.
Is it even worthwhile?
