System board configuration
Processor
HP ProLiant DL180 G6 Server supports Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series processors. If a single
processor is installed, then use socket 1. When two processors are used, the server supports boot
functions through the processor installed in socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system cannot
boot up, and if processor 2 fails, the system will be automatically booted from processor 1 and
provide a processor failure message.
The processor socket supports 2P Intel Xeon processor and 2P Intel Westmere processor with
integrated memory controller.
CAUTION: It is recommended to use processors of the same speeds or cache sizes to prevent
possible server malfunction.
