Microprocessor
Your computer comes with one of the following microprocessors (internal cache size varies by model type):
• Intel
®
Xeon
®
Dual Core microprocessor
• Intel Xeon Quad Core microprocessor
• Intel Xeon Six Core microprocessor
Memory module(s)
• Supports up to six or 12 double data rate 3 dual inline memory modules (DDR3 DIMMs)
• Each microprocessor supports up to three or six memory modules
Note: The Intel Xeon microprocessor families compatible with this ThinkStation™ computer feature an
integrated memory controller, which provides the microprocessor with direct access to the system memory.
Because of this design, the system memory speed will be determined by a number of factors, including
the microprocessor model and the type, speed, size (capacity), and number of DIMMs installed. Refer to
Appendix A “System memory speed” on page 69 for the information on the supported system memory
speed for your computer model.
Internal drives
• One Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) optical drive
• Three SATA hard disk drives or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives
Video subsystem
• Two Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express x16 card slots on the system board for discrete
