Hi all!
Machine = HP Proliant ML350 G4, it has a Xeon 3.0 ghz, with HT and EMT64. It has two proc spots, uses the Intel E7520 chipset, but only one processor is installed so far.
I want to install another processor.
The dealer is telling me that the normal $325 boxed intel Xeon HT EMT64 will NOT FIT in that machine, that I HAVE to buy a special HP version of the chip.
?????
So does anyone have any specific experience with the HP servers? Is it true that HP has done something so that a generic Intel chip "won't fit" in one of their servers? Could the HSF of the normal chip not fit becaus of space issues? What's up?
Thanks!
