Supports up to (4) AMD 2.6 Ghz Opteron 800 Dual Core Processors or 2.8 Ghz Single Core Processors.

• Must install a minimum of 2 DIMMs in the processor memory board in slot 2
• DIMMs on a processor memory board must be installed in pairs and in bank order
• All DIMMs on a processor memory board must be of the same size (512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB)
• Each processor memory board can have different amounts of memory, ex. Processor memory board 2 = (4) 1 GB, Processor memory board 1 = (2) 512 MB, Processor memory board 4 = no memory
• PC2700 memory support requires -002 or greater processor boards
• 333 MHz memory performance requires no more than 6 PC2700 DIMMs per processor board; any more will result in the memory slowing down to 266 MHz
• PC3200 memory, running at 400 MHz will be supported on a PC3200-only processor board (012567-001) with 4 DIMM slots, resulting in a system max of 32 GB with 4 processors

All DL585 servers ship with a Smart Array 5i Plus RAID controller. Some models ship with a SCSI backplane supporting up to (4) 300GB 10K U320 SCSI disk drives. Other models ship with a Small Form Factor (SFF) SAS backplane, supporting up to (8) 300GB 10K SAS disk modules.
