With each design, a conditional routing can be made on the PCB to determine the best package and pin-out. Rules allow designers to define such parameters as leaving corner pins unused, keeping differential pairs together, how to distribute power and ground, how to handle data and address busses, etc.

Image sensors have different pin-outs, with different speeds and different controls: Sony's SLVS-EC sensor interface, LVDS, and MIPI CSI-2 are three examples.

HP would not say if it is using the new Opteron HE or Opteron EE low-power variants of the chip in the blades, but the odds favor it, particularly since the regular Opteron chips and the HE and EE variants have the same pin-outs as the regular (and hotter) Opterons.
