system independent, which means that Advanced Configuration and Power Interface-aware (ACPI) operating systems require no changes to support socket pins. Because pin damage could require replacing the motherboard, HP engineers developed a special installation tool to simplify processor installation - HP ProLiant SL4545 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 14
MT/s. Controlled fan speed HP DDR3 DIMM modules have an integrated thermal sensor that signals the chipset to limit memory traffic to the DIMM if the DIMM temperature exceeds a programmable critical trip point. Using the data from these thermal sensors, ProLiant G6 servers can reduce fan speed when - HP ProLiant SL4545 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 15
design requirements; therefore, HP does not recommend configuring third-party DIMMs for 1333 MT/s data rates with two DIMMs per channel. At this writing, operating the memory at 1333 MT/s is supported only on select ProLiant SL G6 server trays using the Xeon 5500 Series processors operating at 95W - HP ProLiant SL4545 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 16
add expansion cards with various capabilities to the system. SATA is a serial communication protocol for direct-attached storage devices such as SATA hard drives. PCI Express technology All ProLiant SL G6 server trays support the PCIe 2.0 specification.

. If one power supply fails and the remaining power supply cannot support the full load of both server trays, the servers will throttle using HP power capping technology so that the remaining power supply can support both trays (Figure 15). Although performance is reduced, the chassis continues to - HP ProLiant SL4545 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 20
Management Agents supported by other ProLiant servers. As a result, administrators can use HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) 5.3 and greater to manage SL6000 servers. Administrators can also use any other SNMP-based management tool. The agents can be downloaded from the ProLiant model-specific "Easy - HP ProLiant SL4545 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 21

system network for both. Since the connection is full speed, it supports Graphic Remote Console and virtual media. The dedicated Ethernet port is provided for SL series G6 server trays through an optional mezzanine card and enables a separate management network.

G6 servers support an optional TPM v1.2. A rivet supplied with the optional TPM v1.2 module attaches and secures the module to the system board. To prevent possible damage to the TPM module or to the system board, the TPM cannot be removed once it has been installed.4 Summary The HP ProLiant - HP ProLiant SL4545 | HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System technology - Page 24
