The ProLiant ML110 and DL120 G6 servers are single-processor platforms which means that the Xeon 3400 Series processors used in these servers do not support the QuickPath architecture found in the Xeon 5500 Series processors. Otherwise, the Xeon 3400 processors support the same architecture found in - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP ProLiant Intel-based 100-series G6 server technology - Page 8
than through a chipset. They support only DDR-3 dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). In the ProLiant 100-series G6 servers, HP manages all processor functionality options, including memory mirroring and memory channel interleaving, through the G6 server BIOS and BIOS Setup Utility (BSU). DDR-3 DDR - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP ProLiant Intel-based 100-series G6 server technology - Page 9
. Support for 1333 MT/s data rate with two DIMMs may require a ROM upgrade. ** Applies to half-width system boards with 16 slots like the G6 DL170h A BIOS setting on select ProLiant 100-series G6 servers allows the PC3-10600R memory modules to run at 1333 MT/s with two DIMMs per channel.

Users can consult the server QuickSpecs or server documentation for supported power supply options. The HP Power Advisor is available - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP ProLiant Intel-based 100-series G6 server technology - Page 17
QuickPath Interconnect power The Xeon 5500 Series processor lets the QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) buffers enter a sleep state to reduce power requirements when the QPI links are not active. HP enables this Intel feature for G6 servers through BSU. Once this feature is enabled, the Intel processor - HP ProLiant DL160se | HP ProLiant Intel-based 100-series G6 server technology - Page 18
