Intel Xeon 5600 Series Processors—
Information Update
Important Information
•Your system requires a BIOS and iDRAC firmware upgrade to support Intel Xeon 5600 series processor (less than 130 W). You can download the BIOS and iDRAC firmware for the Intel Xeon 5600 series processor at support.dell.com.
NOTE: A BIOS and iDRAC firmware update only supports a limited feature set of the Intel Xeon 5600 series processor.
•The following new Dell PowerEdge systems marked with the Roman Numeral II on the chassis support the complete feature set of Intel Xeon 5600 series processors:
–R410
–R510
–R610
–R710
–T410
–T610
–T710
–M610
–M710
NOTE: The PowerEdge R410, T410, and R510 systems do not support 130 W Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.
NOTE: The modular systems, PowerEdge M610 and M710, support the 130 W Intel Xeon X5680 only in the 130 W processor category.
NOTE: The PowerEdge R610 and M710 systems need specific heat sinks to support the 130 W Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.
•Mixing of Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors is not supported.
•Systems with the Intel Xeon 5600 series processors support memory sparing.

Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs)
Intel Xeon 5600 series processors support DDR3L DIMMs enabling a lower operating voltage (1.35 V) that ensures memory power savings up to 20% per DIMM. DDR3L memory is backward-compatible to Intel Xeon 5500 series and operates at standard voltage (1.5 V) without any limitations.
Operating the system memory at a lower voltage may cause restrictions to additional frequency and memory population capabilities. For example, populating three memory modules per channel is not supported at 1.35 V.
Systems with 1.35 V DDR3L memory operates the memory modules at 1.5 V if any of the following conditions exist:
•Intel Xeon 5500 series processors
•Two 1333 MHz DIMMs per channel
•A combination of both standard and low voltage memory modules
For information on the memory configuration guidelines, see your system’s
Hardware Owner’s Manual at support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE: BIOS setup options allow the user to control frequency and voltage configuration within allowable limits.

Enabling Dell BIOS Intelligent Turbo Mode
The Dell BIOS Intelligent Turbo Mode feature allows the operating system to set the processor performance in the turbo mode. Based on the processor utilization, this feature delays the processor turbo mode initiation for better power management. When the turbo mode is enabled in the Processor Settings screen of the system setup, the feature can be enabled or disabled using the following BIOS setup options:

Processeurs Intel Xeon série 5600 - Mise à jour des informations
Informations importantes
•Votre système nécessite une mise à niveau du BIOS et du micrologiciel de l'iDRAC afin de prendre en charge le processeur Intel Xeon série 5600 (moins de 130 W). Vous pouvez télécharger le BIOS et le micrologiciel de l'iDRAC pour le processeur Intel Xeon série 5600 à l'adresse support.dell.com.
REMARQUE : La mise à jour du BIOS et du micrologiciel de l'iDRAC ne prend en charge qu'un nombre limité de fonctions du processeur Intel Xeon série 5600.
•Les nouveaux systèmes Dell PowerEdge suivants présentant le chiffre romain II sur leur châssis prennent en charge l'ensemble des fonctions des processeurs Intel Xeon série 5600 :
–R410
–R510
–R610
–R710
–T410
–T610
–T710
–M610
–M710
REMARQUE : Les systèmes PowerEdge R410, T410 et R510 ne prennent pas en charge les processeurs Intel Xeon série 5600 de 130 W.
REMARQUE : Les systèmes modulaires, PowerEdge M610 et M710 prennent en charge uniquement les processeurs Intel Xeon X5680 de 130 W dans la catégorie de processeur 130 W.
REMARQUE : Les systèmes PowerEdge R610 et M710 ont besoin de dissipateurs thermiques spécifiques pour prendre en charge les processeurs Intel Xeon série 5600 de 130 W .

•L'utilisation simultanée de processeurs Intel Xeon série 5500 et 5600 n'est pas prise en charge.
•Les sytèmes dotés de processeurs Intel Xeon série 5600 prennent en charge la mémoire de réserve.
Barrettes de mémoire basse tension (barrettes DIMM DDR3L)
Les processeurs Intel Xeon série 5600 prennent en charge les barrettes DIMM DDR3L, qui permettent une tension de fonctionnement plus basse (1,35 V) économisant jusqu'à 20 % d'alimentation de mémoire par barrette. La mémoire DDR3L est rétrocompatible avec les processeurs Intel Xeon série 5500 et fonctionne avec une tension standard (1,5 V), sans limitation.
Si vous utilisez le système sous une tension inférieure, des limitations peuvent s'appliquer aux fréquences supplémentaires ou aux capacités de configuration de la mémoire. Ainsi, l'installation de trois barrettes de mémoire par canal n'est pas prise en charge à 1,35 V.
Les systèmes avec mémoire DDR3L 1,35 V font fonctionner les barrettes de mémoire à 1,5 V si l'une des conditions suivantes s'applique :
•Processeurs Intel Xeon série 5500
•Deux barrettes DIMM 1333 MHz par canal
•Une combinaison de barrettes de mémoire standard et basse tension
Pour plus d'informations sur les consignes de configuration de la mémoire, consultez le Manuel du propriétaire du matériel correspondant à votre système, à l'adresse support.dell.com/manuals.
REMARQUE : Les options de configuration du BIOS permettent à l'utilisateur de contrôler la configuration de la fréquence et de la tension dans des limites autorisées.
