Disclaimers
Intel Xeon E3 and Intel Core i3 processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory.
Intel's numbering is 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.
64-bit computing on 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. See: http://www.intel.com/info/em64t for more
information.
Dual-Core and Quad-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of multithreaded software
products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating
system software for full benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all customers
or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.

RAID 0 Configuration - Striped Array Y N
RAID 1 Configuration - Mirrored Array Y N
SATA hardware RAID is not supported on Linux systems. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID,
provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please
visit http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00060684/c00060684.pdf for RAID
capabilities with Linux.
All drives must be identical in type and capacity
All RAID arrays must be less than 2 TB
NOTE 1 : Requires identical hard drives (speeds, capacity, interface).
