† The support that is shown is for Intel Xeon standard thermal profile processors (all except Intel Xeon E5-2618L
v2, E5-2628L v2, E5-2648L v2, and E5-2658 v2).
* Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 and E5-2690 v2 processors throttle at Steady State at ambient temperature of 31 °C in
the BladeCenter H chassis.
** When one blower fails, the HS23 (7875, E5-2600 v2) with specified processor TDP only supports ambient
temperature of up to 28 °C when installed in the BladeCenter H chassis with the standard blower modules.
§ The HS23 (7875, E5-2600 v2) with the Intel Xeon processor E5-2658 v2 (95 W) only supports one DIMM per
channel when installed in the BladeCenter H chassis with the standard blower modules.
# The support that is shown is for Intel Xeon robust thermal profile processors: Intel Xeon E5-2618L v2 (50 W),
E5-2628L v2 (70 W), E5-2648L v2 (70 W), and E5-2658 v2 (95 W).
