NOTE: *Memory will have the same thermal restrictions of the processor used.
NOTE: Up to six standard (STD) dual fan modules must be installed in all of the configurations.
NOTE: GPU air shroud is required, when GPU is installed in the system.
NOTE: When riser slots four and nine are installed, the supported ambient temperature is 35°C (95°F).
NOTE: DIMM blanks must be installed in empty DIMM slots.
