The slot 2 is a processor socket for Intel CPU -series with the name Xeon . It was introduced when the Pentium II Xeon was presented on June 29, 1998. Slot 2 is comparable to Slot 1 of the Pentium II and uses the same bus protocol.

With the introduction of the Pentium II Xeon - like a year earlier with the Pentium II - the transition from the socket to the slot was necessary for the server processors from Intel, since the Xeon - in contrast to the Pentium Pro - processor core and cache memory as separate chips united on a common circuit board .

Slot 2 processors and motherboards were intended for professional use in workstations and servers .

The predecessor of slot 2 is socket 8 . Its successors are the base 603 and the base 604 . The slot 2 was technologically obsolete after Intel Xeon and the cache on a processor core and the could unite.
