*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: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

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.

HP xw8600 Workstation

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 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

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.

ASF 2.0 Compliant

Allows workstation status to be monitored on a remote console.

 

WMI Support

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.

 

BIOS Boot Spec 1.01+

Provides more control over how and from what devices the workstation will boot.

Instantly Available PC

Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time

 

ROM Based F10 Setup

Review and customize BIOS settings

 

and Power-on Self Test

 

 

 

Remote System Installation

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

System/Emergency ROM

Recovers corrupted system BIOS

 

Flash Recovery with Video

 

 

 

ROM Revision Levels

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

 

System Board Revision

Allows management SW to read the revision level of the system board

Memory Remapping

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)

Per-slot Control

Allows individual slot configuration (option ROM., latency)

Adaptive Cooling

Fan control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics

Pre-boot Diagnostics

Early (pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED
