The Z600 has a three-channel memory architecture. Three channels are associated with each processor.
For optimal performance, populate a DIMM in each channel.
AMO
PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 ECC Unbuffered DIMMs AMO
2GB (1x2GB) DDR3-1333 ECC Unbuffered RAM
FX699AA
4GB (1x4GB) DDR3-1333 ECC Unbuffered RAM
NL797AA
PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 ECC Registered DIMMs AMO
8GB (1x8GB) DDR3-1333 ECC Registered RAM
FX622AA
4GB (1x4GB) DDR3-1333 ECC Registered RAM
FX621AA
Although all of these memory configurations incorporate 1333MHz memory modules, the speed at which
they operate is dependent upon the processor.
Support for Registered DIMMs on the Z600 requires a systemboard with the C2 revision of the Intel 5520
chipset. Two methods are available to determine if a specific Z600 system has the C2 revision of the
chipset. 1. Use the BIOS setup menu to access the "Boot Block Date" from the "System Information Menu".
All B3-based systems will have a "1/30/09" date and C2-based systems will have a "01/07/10" date. 2. HP
Performance Advisor SW can be used to determine the PCA ID, which is reported by Performance Advisor
under "System Configuration" and "Baseboard ID". All B3-based systems will have the ID "0AE8h" and all
C2-based systems will have the ID "0B54h".
