*When ordering two processors, the second processor must be the same as the first. Intel processor numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:

Intel® 64 Architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 Architecture. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 Architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations.

Memory

DDR2 ECC REGISTERED FB-DIMM MEMORY

DDR2 ECC REGISTERED FB-DIMM MEMORYDDR2 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 single-DIMM 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

MAXIMUM MEMORYMAXIMUM 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.

SATA or SAS

SATA and SAS may be only mixed in a Windows configuration. Here are the rules for mixing hard drives:

DA - 12849 North America — Version 9 — May 19, 2008

1.

The boot/data drive must be SATA to load before any SAS drive.

2.

Any size or speeds may be chosen for drives 1-3.

3.

However, hard drive 4 must be the same size/speed as hard drive

In non-mixed Microsoft Windows and Linux systems, rules 2 & 3 apply.

Configure-to-order RAID configs must all have the same size/speed hard drives.

Using external enclosures, an additional 8 channels of SAS can be supported if there are no other

* Factory Integrated RAID 0 Configuration (Striped Array) and RAID 1 Configuration (Mirrored Array) requires 2 hard drives with identical speeds, capacity and interface.

Description

DescriptionDescription 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

Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:

NORMAL

NORMAL NORMAL

Yes

<20W <25W

- normal temperature ranges

Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console

System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location. Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software, perform security management, or update the ROM

Allows the system to enter and wake from a low power mode Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system

Supports ACPI 2.0 for full compatibility with 64-Bit operating system The system can be operated without a keyboard System Management BIOS 2.5, previously known as DMI BIOS, for system management information Common BIOS image supports configuration (Setup) in 12 languages, with local keyboard mappings Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM Allows memory controller to transparently correct transient ECC errors in the background Allows system memory lost to PCI devices to be reclaimed above 4 GB, for use with operating systems

that support more than 4 GB (Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit edition, Linux) Allows individual slot configuration (option ROM., latency) Fan control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics Early (pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED
