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

Memory Subsystem Architecture
Each Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 family processor socket contains three memory channels that support two DIMMs
each for a total of six (6) DIMM per installed processor or a grand total of twelve (12) DIMMs for the
server. Up to 32GB capacity DIMMs are supported for 384GB of max memory .
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
Do not mix UDIMMs, RDIMMs or LRDIMMs.
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
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
