The tables below list the supported Intel Xeon processors, memory DIMMs, and PCI expansion slots for the ProLiant
DL980 G7 server. This information is included to help determine how the recommended configurations can be modified
to support different workload sizes or user combinations.

Note:
The Intel Xeon processor E7 series supports Hyper-Threading (HT). HT is
recommended and was tested in our configurations. However it is good practice
to test HT with your particular application.
Table 3 shows the memory module kits available for the DL980 G7. The more ranks per DIMM the higher the
performance, so quad rank DIMMs perform better than dual rank DIMMs. Performance is best when the installed DIMMs
are all of equal size.
