HP ProLiant DL585 G5 server technology, 1st edition

DL585 G5 architecture
The DL585 G5 is a powerful, 4U enterprise server incorporating technologies that extend the
capabilities of industry-standard x86 computing. This server provides high performance and the
capability of running both 32-bit and 64-bit applications simultaneously with no performance penalty
when using an operating system that supports 64-bit extensions. This is possible because the AMD64
instruction set is a super-set containing the x86 instruction set architecture. The DL585 G5 architecture
includes the following essential features:
• Support for up to four quad-core AMD Opteron 8300-series processors
• nVidia nForce Professional 2200 and 2050 chipsets
• Support for Dual Dynamic Power Management
• Two 100MHz PCI-X slots
• Four PCI Express (PCIe) x4 slots
• Three PCIe x8 slots
• Two embedded 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with iSCSI and Receive Side Scaling (RSS)
• HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) 2 management

The AMD-8132 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel provides two PCI-X bridges (see Figure 1). One 16-bit,
1-GHz HyperTransport interface connects to the CPUs. The other 16-bit, 1-GHz HyperTransport
interface connects to the downstream nVidia nForce Professional 2050 PCIe Bridge. The AMD-8132
supports two PCI-X bridges operating at 100 MHz. One PCI-X bridge supports two 100-MHz
expansion slots (one full length and the other half length). The other PCI-X bridge supports two
NC371i gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
