System board configuration
Processor
The HP ProLiant SL170s G6 Server, with eight nodes, supports sixteen-processor operation. With two
processors installed, each node 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 six-core Intel
Westmere
EP Series processors.
CAUTION:
HP recommends using processors of the same speeds or cache sizes to prevent possible
server malfunction.
