System board architecture

The following figure shows the system board block diagram.

Figure 1-1 System board block diagram

ENWW	Description 1

NOTE: The x1, x4, x8, and x16 designators describe the number of electrical PCIe lanes routed to an expansion slot. For example, x16(8) means that the expansion slot is mechanically a x16 length connector, with eight PCIe lanes connected.

Processor technology

This workstation uses the Intel® 5520 chipset to support the latest Quad Core Intel® Xeon™ processor 5500 Series, including processors up to 130W. These processors incorporate an integrated 3-channel memory controller, microarchitecture improvements, and large L3 cache to provide superior performance. The workstation uses the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) to connect the processors and I/O controllers with speeds up to 6.4 GT/s.

Memory technology

Workstation dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) are based on DDR3 1333MHz technology, and are error checking and correcting (ECC)-protected. Six direct-attach memory channels—three per central processing unit (CPU)—enable low latency accesses and fast data transfer for improved performance. Configurations with one processor provide access to six DIMM slots, while the addition of a second processor provides access to six more DIMM slots, supporting a total system memory size up to 192GB (using 16GB DIMMs).

Graphics

This workstation supports PCIe Gen2 (PCIe2) bus speeds and can support dual PCIe Gen2 graphics cards in PCIe2 x16 slots. With the standard 850W power supply, the workstation an support up to two 150W graphics cards. A second graphics card may be supported in the second PCIe2 x16 slot, subject to overall system power limitations. With the optional 1110W power supply, the workstation can support up to two high power (~225W) graphics cards.

Expansion card slots

This workstation includes two Intel 5520 chips to provide a total of seven high-performance graphics and I/O slots. It eliminates the legacy PCI-X slot and implements a PCIe slot in its place. This implementation results in improved I/O bandwidth performance.

Addition features

Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations for SATA support modes 0, 1, 5 and 10. eSATA (3.0 Gbps) is supported using an optional adapter. This workstation provides nine external and three internal USB 2.0 ports. The 850W power supply is 85% efficient, and the 1110W power supply is 89% efficient. Both power supplies enable Energy Star Version 5.0 system configurations. HP WattSaver technology enables support of the European Union EuP power limit of 1W in off mode. HP Quiet Fan Technology enables quiet system operation.

Power consumption and heat dissipation

Power consumption and heat dissipation specifications are available for multiple 850W and 1110W power supply configurations. To review available specifications, see http://www.hp.com/go/ quickspecs.

To reach zero power consumption, unplug the workstation from the power outlet or use a power strip with an on/off switch. For additional information about power-saving features, see the operating system documentation.

ENWW	Specifications 11

See the Site preparation guide for the HP 800 workstation at http://hp.com/support/ workstation_manuals for further power consumption information.

This product is in compliance with U.S. Executive Order 13221.

System fans

This workstation includes:

●Two rear system fans

●One CPU0 fan

●One CPU1 fan (optional)

●Two power supply fans

●Two memory fans

●One upper front system fan

●One lower front system fan (optional)

In addition, some graphics cards include onboard fans.

Resetting the power supply

If an overload triggers the power supply overload protection, power is immediately disconnected.

To reset the power supply:

1.Disconnect the power cord from the workstation.

2.Determine what caused the overload and fix the problem. For troubleshooting information, see Diagnostics and troubleshooting on page 164.

3.Reconnect the power cord and restart the workstation.

Ensuring proper ventilation

Proper ventilation for the system is important for workstation operation. Follow these guidelines to ensure adequate ventilation:

●Operate the workstation on a sturdy, level surface.

●Place the workstation in an area with adequate ventilation. Provide at least 6 inches of clearance at the front and back of the workstation as shown in the following figure.

Your workstation might look different than the one shown.

Figure 1-5 Proper workstation ventilation

●Ensure that the ambient air temperature surrounding the workstation falls within the published limit.

NOTE: The ambient upper limit of 35°C is only good up to 5000 feet elevation. There is a 1°C per 1000 feet derating above 5000 feet. So at 10,000 feet the upper ambient air temperature limit is 30°C.

●For cabinet installation, ensure adequate cabinet ventilation and ensure that the ambient temperature within the cabinet does not exceed published limits.

●Never restrict the incoming or outgoing airflow of the workstation by blocking any vents or air intakes as shown in the following figure.

ENERGY STAR Qualification

HP computers marked with the ENERGY STAR logo are compliant with the applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR specifications for computers. The EPA ENERGY STAR logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, HewlettPackard Company has determined the products marked with the ENERGY STAR logo are ENERGY STAR qualified per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. The following logo appears on all ENERGY STAR qualified computers.

The ENERGY STAR Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. One way products achieve this energy efficiency is by reducing power consumption when not being used through the Microsoft Windows Power Management feature.

The Power Management feature enables the workstation to enter a low-power (or “sleep”) mode after a period of inactivity. When used with an external monitor that is ENERGY STAR qualified, this feature also supports the similar power management features of the external monitor.

To take advantage of this energy savings:

●The Power Management feature has been preset to suspend the workstation to a sleep state after 30 minutes of inactivity.

●The Power Management feature has been preset to suspend the monitor to a sleep state after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). when configured with Wake On LAN (WOL) enabled, the workstation can also be woken by a network signal.

See the EPA ENERGY STAR Power Management Web site for more information about the energy and financial savings potential of the Power Management Feature: http://www.energystar.gov/ powermanagement.

See the EPA ENERGY STAR Web site for more information about the ENERGY STAR program and its environmental benefits: http://www.energystar.gov.

CAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with monitors that are not ENERGY STAR qualified can cause video distortion when an Energy Save timeout occurs.

NOTE: ENERGY STAR is not supported on Linux workstations.

If it is necessary to restore the operating system, you must also reset the ENERGY STAR settings (if applicable) after the restore.

To verify the factory default power settings for your workstation, select Start>Control Panel, and then double-click Power Options.

ENWW	Features 15

Hyper-threading

This workstation supports Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT) which is an Intel-proprietary technology used to provide process parallelization. The technology improves processor performance under certain workloads by providing useful work for execution units that would otherwise be idle. A processor with Hyper-Threading enabled is treated by the operating system as two processors instead of one. Hyperthreading relies on support in the operating system as well as the CPU.

To implement hyper-threading, see The Computer Setup (F10) Utility on page 31.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology

This workstation supports Intel® Turbo Boost technology which enables the CPU to run at a higher than normal rate. When all CPU cores are not necessary for the workload, inactive cores are turned off and power is diverted to the active cores to increase their efficiency.

You can enable and disable Turbo Boost in the workstation BIOS menu. For instructions on setting BIOS features, see The Computer Setup (F10) Utility on page 31.

HP Cool Tools

An HP Workstation with Windows XP Professional includes additional software that is not installed when you first start the workstation. Additionally, a number of preinstalled tools on the workstation can enhance the workstation experience. To access or learn more about these applications:

1.Open the HP Cool Tools folder by selecting Start>All Programs>HP Cool Tools.

2.Select the HP Cool Tools icon on the desktop.

3.To learn more about these applications, select HP Cool Tools—Learn More.

4.To install or launch the applications, select the appropriate application.

NOTE: A preinstalled Windows Vista Business operating system does not contain an HP Cool Tools icon, shortcut, or folder, but several of the tool programs are included, such as Performance Tuning Framework.
