System Board Configuration
Processor
HP ProLiant DL185 G5 Server supports dual-processor operation. If a single processor is installed,
then use socket 0. When two processors are used, the server supports boot functions through the
processor installed in processor socket 0. However, if processor 0 fails, the system can’t boot up, and
if processor 1 fails, the system will automatically boots from processor 0 and provides a processor
failure message.
The processor socket supports 2P AMD Opteron 2000 series.
CAUTION: It is recommended to use processors of same speeds or cache sizes to prevent possible
server malfunction.
