Because of their larger size, full-height server blades support u

p to 4 processors, up to 32 DIMM slots,

2 hot-plug drives, 2 dual-port integrated Ethernet adapters, and 3 mezzanine slots for optional I/O

cards. Full-height server blades also provide twice as much I/O bandwidth to the interconnect

modules as half-height server blades (Figure 2).

Processor technologies

ProLiant G6 server blades that support two AMD Opteron processors contain six-core 2400 Series

processors (Figure 3). ProLiant G6 server blades that support four AMD Opteron processors contain

either quad-core 8300 Series or six-core 8400 Series processors. AMD Opteron quad-core and six-
