DIMMs
General DIMM slot population guidelines
• The server supports a maximum of 16 GB memory using two 8 GB single-rank or dual-rank UDIMMs.
• The server supports up to 1600 MT/s ECC UDIMMs.
• LV DIMMs operate at 1.35 V instead of the 1.5 V for standard DDR3 DIMMs. LV DIMMs can be
installed in this server, but the system does not recognize the reduced power consumption feature. It will
be treated as a standard DDR3 DIMM.
• Memory speed depends on the type of processor and the number of DIMMs installed in the server.
Installed DIMMs can operate at either 1600 MT/s or 1333 MT/s. For more information, see the
technical specification of the installed processor.
• When installing DIMMs, populate the 1-A DIMM slot first and, then the 2-B slot.
• For DIMM spare replacement, install the DIMMs per slot number as instructed by the system software.
• Use only HP qualified DIMMs.
• The server does not support:
o RDIMMs
o Non-ECC UDIMMs
• The minimum DIMM requirement to make this server bootable is a DIMM in either DIMM slot.
For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool
on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator).
