Collection: HP DL120 G7 Memory Upgrades

HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Memory Configuration Guide

The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 is a single CPU system with two memory channels each managing two DDR3 DIMM slots. This system only accepts ECC unbuffered memory. This system also accepts standard voltage (1.5v) and low voltage (1.35v) modules. You should never mix different memory types together as this can cause you system to not function properly. The same thing goes for mixing different voltages. Mixing speeds on the other hand can be done, but all modules will operate at the same speed as the slowest module installed. Either way, it is best practice to have matching modules within all DIMM slots of your system. Because of this, we only ship matching kits to ensure that your system will function as intended.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL120 G7  Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server can be upgraded using 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB ECC UDIMMs. 
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HP ProLiant DL120 G7Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server supports memory speeds of 1066MT/s and 1333MT/s. (1600MT/s and 1866MT/s can be installed, but will be clocked down to the true fastest speed of 1333MT/s)
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server?
   The ProLiant DL120 G7 Server only accepts DDR3 ECC unbuffered memory.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   ECC memory has the ability to fix memory errors in your server system. Registered (also called buffered) memory modules register between DRAM modules and the system's memory controller. ECC Registered Memory relieves stress off of the memory controller by decreasing the electrical load which increases its stability. The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 does not support ECC Registered memory.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   Unbuffered memory has no register between the DRAM and the system’s memory controller. Unbuffered memory can be more efficient than registered memory since there is a direction connection from the DRAM to the memory controller. The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server supports unbuffered memory with ECC and without ECC. 
   
   
6. What is Load Reduced Memory?
   Load reduced memory (LRDIMM) modules are designed with a buffer chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize the electrical load. LRDIMMs can be used to reach larger maximum memory configurations. The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 does not support load reduced memory. 
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   It is never recommended to mix different memory types. Mixing unbuffered memory with ECC and non-ECC memory may cause boot failure. The use of both unbuffered and registered memory is never recommended. It is best practice to use identical memory configuration in all channels.
   
   
8. What is max configuration?
   The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server allows the maximum configuration of 32 GB using four 8 GB, ECC UDIMMs. 
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant DL120 G7 Server has 2 memory channels, each with a total of 2 DIMM slots.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The ProLiant DL120 G7 Server's DIMM slots are colored coded white and black. The white slots represent the start of a memory channel.
    
    
11. Where can I order memory for my server?
    Order your memory directly from this page by finding and selecting a memory package from the list above. If you prefer another method, you can email us directly at sales@cloudninjas.com.
    
    
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.
