HP Z600 Intel Chipset - how to find revision

I have a HP Z600 (KK549ET/ABU) and wish to add a single 8GB REGISTERED DIMM as memory.
The Kingston site says this machine requires C2 revision of Intel 5520 chipset.

http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/Default.aspx?DeviceType=1&Mfr=HEW&Line=Workstation&Model=55070

My question is, how can I tell which revision this motherboard has installed as when I install the DIMM in the socket (CPU0, DIMM1 socket), I get 5 beeps and red light which seems to indicate a problem with the memory - presumably if the C2 revision is not installed, the memory will be rejected.

Thanks
BT
