HP SmartMemory
New HP SmartMemory now provides additional protection for your servers. With HP Authentication it can verify that you have true HP
Qualified Memory in your HP ProLiant Gen8 server. With HP SmartMemory your new HP ProLiant server can take advantage of
additional Gen8 enhancements in performance, durability and future manageability support through HP Active Health System
For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:

Memory Subsystem Architecture
Each Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 family processor socket contains four memory channels that support three DIMMs
each for a total of twelve (12) DIMMs per installed processor or a grand total of Twenty Four (24) DIMMs for the
server. Up to 32GB capacity DIMMs are supported for 768GB of max memory (for Best Speed (1600MHz) run
2 DIMMs per channel or 16 DIMM slots x 16GB per DIMM = 256GB).
Memory population guidelines
General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:
White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel. For 1 DPC (DIMM per channel) populate white slots only.
A minimum of one DIMM is required per server.
Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
If only one processor is installed in a two processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed
processors and to load the channels similarly whenever possible.
When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel. Heaviest load
(DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor.
RDIMMs operating at either 1.35V or 1.5V may be mixed in any order, but the system will power them at the higher voltage.
Do not mix UDIMMs, RDIMMs orLRDIMMs.
LRDIMMs are supported up to 3 DIMMs per channel.
Using the HP RBSU, 1.35V DIMMs can be changed to operate at 1.5V.
DIMMs of different speeds may be mixed in any order; the server will select a common optimal speed.
The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
The maximum memory capacity is a function of the memory type and number of installed processors.
HP memory from previous generation servers is not compatible with the DL360p Gen8 Server. Certain HP
SmartMemory features such as memory authentication and enhanced performance may not be supported.
To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HP SmartMemory is required. For
