Collection: HP DL380 G6 Memory Upgrades

HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Memory Configuration Guide

The HP ProLiant DL360 G7 is a dual processor system with nine DIMM slots per a CPU. Each CPU has access to three memory channels, each containing three memory DIMMs. This means only single rank or dual rank modules can be used when populating all the memory slots. This system is capable of using UDIMMs and RDIMMS however, it is highly recommended to use RDIMMs due to their increased stability and reliability.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 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 DL380 G6 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server can support 800, 1333, 1600, and 1866 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM or RDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server supports registered memory 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?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 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 DL380 G6 Server does not 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. 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 DL380 G6 Server does not 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. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).
   
   
8. What is max configuration?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 192 GB using twelve 16 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded to 288 GB using eighteen 16 GB RDIMM or 384 GB using twelve 32 GB RDIMM. UDIMM support is available for 12 slot servers only. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server has three channels which house nine slots per processor with a total of 18 slots in a dual processor system.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially based on the first white slot which is channel 1-A. For a dual processor system, install memory modules in sequentially beginning with processor 1 and then processor 2.
    
    
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.
