Memory

DDR2 ECC REGISTERED FB-DIMM MEMORY

Use only fully-buffered, PC2-5300F DIMMS (FB-DIMMs). Match DIMMs by size and type. With the exception of the singleDIMM configuration, all memory should be added in like pairs. Use HP memory only.

If using only one DIMM, install in socket 1 (bottom DIMM slot when rear inputs/outputs of motherboard are facing left). If using 2 DIMMs, install in sockets 1 & 5, matched by size and type. If using more than 2 DIMMs, pairs must be matched by size and type in sockets 1 and 3, 5 and 7, 2 and 4, and 6 and 8; this may require moving the DIMM in socket 5 to socket 3. If using 8 DIMMs, install in all sockets.

MAXIMUM MEMORY

Supports up to 128 GB of DDR2 Fully Buffered DIMMs . Memory risers are required to support larger memory configurations (at launch, Configure-to-order HP xw8600 Workstations ordered with more than 16 GB of memory will require riser modules). Large capacity 8 GB DIMMs require the use of riser cards. No quad ranked DIMM should be used in the HP xw8600 without riser cards.

POSSIBLE MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS

Not all memory configurations possible are represented below. Also, 512 MB configurations are not supported for 64-Bit operating systems.

Description

Full BIOS support for PCI Express through industry standard interfaces. Allows workstation status to be monitored on a remote console. WMI is Microsoft's implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) for Windows.

WMI is fully compliant with the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM) and WBEM specifications.

Provides more control over how and from what devices the workstation will boot. Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time Review and customize BIOS settings

Allows a new or existing system to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system

Recovers corrupted system BIOS

Identifies system BIOS revision level and reports in ROM-based F10 setup. Version is stored in an industry standard memory location (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can use and report this information

Allows management SW to read the revision level of the system board Revision level is digitally encoded into the hardware and cannot be modified

System automatically detects addition of new hardware

Enable or disables serial, parallel, USB, audio, SAS and network ports

Prevents ability to boot from removable media on supported devices (and can disable writes to media)

Prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the workstation Prevents an unauthorized person from changing the workstation configuration Saves BIOS settings to diskette or USB disk-on-key in human readable file. Repset.exe utility can

then replicate these settings on machines being deployed without entering ROM-based F10 setup Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed
