Memory Requirements
The HP xw9400 supports up to 16 GB of memory, and uses DDR2-667 ECC
Registered / Unbuffered DIMMs. The amount of memory required for your
Autodesk Visual Effects and Finishing system depends on the resolution of
your projects, the type of work you perform and, in some cases, the platform
on which you are running the application. Refer to the Autodesk Visual Effects
and Finishing Software Installation Guide to determine the memory requirements
for your Visual Effects and Finishing application.
Ensuring Proper Environmental Conditions
You should consider the following environmental guidelines for all hardware
configuration:
■ Place all components in an air-conditioned environment. All hardware
components generate heat and must be kept cool. See Power and Air
Conditioning Requirements on page 8.
■ Make sure the rack on which hardware components are mounted is open
or well ventilated. Follow the ventilation specifications that apply to your
system. See Rack Mount Requirements on page 9.
■ Keep all hardware components in a clean, dust-free location.
■ Minimize vibration and humidity.
■ Do not block the vents on the component housing.
■ Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or a blanket, over hardware
components.
■ Minimize electromagnetic noise by separating digital data and power cables
from analog audio cables and running them in different cable ducts.
