Dual- and Quad-Core are new technologies designed to improve performance of multithreaded software
products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating
system software for full benefit. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from
use of this technology.
AMD's numbering is not a measurement of clock speed.
Actual bus clock rate is less for the 1 GHz AMD HyperTransport technology. Listed bus speed represents
the effective data transfer rate.

NVIDIA Nforce Professional 3000 Series
DDR2 SDRAM ECC REGISTERED MEMORY
This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. Each AMD Opteron processor has an
integrated memory controller that supports ECC Registered 667 MHz (PC2 5300P) DDR2 or ECC Registered
533 MHz (PC2 4200) DDR2 memory. Main memory is directly connected to the processor through the Direct
Connect Architecture. There are 8 DIMM slots in total, with 4 DIMM slots per processor, each processor
offering a memory bandwidth transfer rate up to 10.2 GB/s. Over 32 GB requires dual CPUs, and will require 8
GB DIMMS (when available)
Memory must be added in pairs. Match DIMM pairs by size and type. Use only HP tested and validated
memory
In a single processor configuration, install the first DIMM pair in socket set 1 (blue sockets), and the 2nd DIMM
pair in socket set 3 (black socket).
In a dual processor configuration, install the first DIMM pair in socket set 1 (blue sockets), the 2nd DIMM pair
in socket set 2 (blue sockets) and, if required, the 3rd pair in socket set 3 (black sockets) and the 4th pair in
socket set 4 (black sockets).
The memory sockets are laid out on the mainboard as below:

Thermal Alert Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:
NORMAL - normal temperature ranges
ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid
shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown
SHUTDOWN - excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer
without warning before hardware component damage occurs
