Collection: HP BL660C G8 Memory Upgrades

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 supports 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DDR3 registered DIMMs.
• The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 can hold up to 1TB of RAM with a 32 x 32GB configuration
• The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 does support load-reducing DIMM. LRDIMM and RDIMM are distinct memory technologies and cannot be mixed within a server.
• DIMM sizes can be mixed in channel. To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors and to load the channels similarly whenever possible.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run at 1866MHz, 1600MHz, 1333MHz, or 1066MHz
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HP ProLiant BL660C G8 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.
• A minimum of one DIMM is required per processor.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 1 GB, 2, GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server can support up to 1866 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server supports DDR3 with ECC RDIMM, LV RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server supports registered memory (RDIMM) and low voltage registered memory (LV RDIMM) with ECC. ECC memory detects and corrects memory errors within the server environment. Registered (also called buffered) memory modules register between DRAM modules and the system's memory controller. ECC Registered Memory transfers less electrical load to your memory controller which makes it more stable and reliable.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   TThe HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server supports unbuffered memory with ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system’s memory controller.
   
   
6. What is Load Reduced Memory?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server does support load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM). Load reduced DIMM is designed with a buffer chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize loading, the LRDIMM increases server system memory capacity and speed. Hyper-cloud DIMM (HCDIMM or HDIMM) is considered load reduced memory which is 240-pin, 72 bit wide. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server does not support the use of both unregistered and registered memory with ECC or the use of non-ECC memory. It is recommended to use identical memory configuration in all channels.
   
   
8. What is max configuration?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 512 GB using thirty-two 16 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded up to 768 GB using thirty-two 24 GB LV RDIMM or 1 TB using thirty-two 32 GB LRDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server has 4 memory channels which house 2 DIMM slots each per processor.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HP ProLiant BL660C G8 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially beginning with the first white memory channel 1-A for processor 1 and then processor 2. Repeat these steps for the quad processor models.
    
    
11. Where can I order memory for my server?
    Order your memory at https://cloudninjas.com/ by finding and selecting the memory package that is right for you.
    
    
12. How soon will my RAM arrive?
    Orders placed before 8 am are set for same day processing and shipping. Delivery times vary based on carrier and location.
    
    
13. What is the warranty on memory for the server?
    Cloud Ninjas offers a one-year warranty on fully tested, refurbished memory.
