Lockstep memory configuration 

Lockstep mode provides protection against multi-bit memory errors that occur on the same DRAM device. 

Lockstep mode can correct any single DRAM device failure on x4 and x8 DIMM types. The DIMMs in each 
channel must have identical HP part numbers. 

 

General DIMM slot population guidelines 

Observe the following guidelines for all AMP modes: 

 

Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed. 

 

When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors. 

 

White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel (Ch 1-A, Ch 2-B, Ch 3-C, Ch 4-D) 

 

Do not mix RDIMMs, UDIMMs, or LRDIMMs. 

 

When one processor is installed, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order: A, B, C, D, E, F, and so 

forth. 

 

When two processors are installed, install the DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order balanced between 

the two processors: P1-A, P2-A, P1-B, P2-B, P1-C, P2-C, and so forth. 

 

For DIMM spare replacement, install the DIMMs per slot number as instructed by the system software. 

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

). 

The following DIMM speeds are supported in this server.

Advanced ECC population guidelines 

For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: 

 

Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines. 

 

DIMMs may be installed individually. 

 

Online spare population 

For Online Spare memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: 

 

Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines. 

 

Each channel must have a valid online spare configuration. 

 

Each channel can have a different valid online spare configuration.
