Collection: HP DL385 G7 Memory Upgrades

HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Memory Configuration

The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 is a Dual Processor system with 12 DIMM slots per CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages three DIMM slots. This means the HP ProLiant DL385 G7 will only support two Quad Rank or two unbuffered DIMM per channel. Along with standard RDIMM and UDIMM, the HP ProLiant DL385 G7 also supports options for standard or low voltage. You cannot mix different memory types. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 supports 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DIMMs registered DDR3 DIMM.
• The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 can hold up to 384GB (24 x 16GB) system memory and can max out to 512GB of system memory.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run up to 1600MHz registered DDR3 DIMM.
• Do not forget to remove the air baffle prior to installing your memory modules on this model.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HP ProLiant DL385 G7 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 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 DL385 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Server can support 667, 800, 1066, 1333 and 1600 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM and RDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 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 DL385 G7 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 DL385 G7 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. 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 DL385 G7 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 DL385 G7 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 384 GB using twenty-four 16 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded to 512 GB using a combination of eight 32 GB quad rank RDIMM quad rank plus sixteen 16 GB dual rank RDIMM. UDIMM support is based on a maximum of two DIMM per channel on this model. Do not mix UDIMM and RDIMM types. Advanced ECC is not available if 4 GB and 8 GB memory is mixed on this model.

9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Server has 3 channels and 24 slots in a dual processor system.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HP ProLiant DL360E G8 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially beginning with the first channel 1-A for processor 1 and then processor 2. It is recommended that quad rank memory modules be installed only in sockets 2, 5, 8, and 11.
    
    
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.
