Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain
memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrected and result in a server failure. Using HP Advanced
Memory Error Detection technology, the server provides notification when a DIMM is degrading and has a
higher probability of uncorrectable memory error.
Online Spare memory configuration
Online spare memory provides protection against degraded DIMMs by reducing the likelihood of
uncorrected memory errors. This protection is available without any operating system support.
Online spare memory protection dedicates one rank of each memory channel for use as spare memory. The
remaining ranks are available for OS and application use. If correctable memory errors occur at a rate
higher than a specific threshold on any of the non-spare ranks, the server automatically copies the memory
contents of the degraded rank to the online spare rank. The server then deactivates the failing rank and
automatically switches over to the online spare rank.
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 multiple processors are installed, HP recommends balancing the DIMMs across the all
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 LRDIMMs and RDIMMs.
•
UDIMMs are not supported on this server.
•
When multiple processors are installed, HP recommends installing the DIMMs in sequential
alphabetical order: P1-A, P2-A... P4-A, P1-B, P2-B... P4-B, P1-C, P2-C... P4-C, and so on.
For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool
on the HP website (

).
DIMM speeds are supported as indicated in the following table.
