Processor
The HP ProLiant DL160 G5 Server supports dual and quad core processors. If a single CPU is
installed, then use socket 0.When two processors are used, the server supports boot functions through
the processor installed in processor socket 0.However, if processor 0 fails, the system can’t boot up,
and if processor 1 fails, the system will automatically boots from processor 0 and provides a
processor failure message.
The processor socket supports Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.
CAUTION: It is recommended to use processors of same speeds or cache sizes to prevent possible
server malfunction.
