System Board Configuration
Processor
The HP ProLiant DL180 Server supports dual-processor operation. With two processors installed, the
server supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 1. However, if
processor 1 fails, the system automatically boots from processor 2 and provides a processor failure
message.
The processor socket supports Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 4M 5100 series and Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon® Processor 2X4M FCPGA 5300 series.
CAUTION: It is recommended to use processors of same speeds or cache sizes to prevent possible
server malfunction.
