Collection: HP DL385p G8 Memory Upgrades

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL385P Gen 8 Memory Upgrade Tips

• HP ProLiant DL385P G8 supports 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DIMMs ECC Registered & Load Reduced DDR3 DIMMs.
• The HP ProLiant DL385P G8 can hold up to 394GB (24 x 16GB) of ECC Registered system memory and up to 768GB (24 x 32GB) of Load Reduced Server Memory.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run at 1333MHz or 1600MHz using registered or load reduced DDR3 DIMM.
• Each processor supports up to 24 DIMMs. There are four memory channels per installed processor. And there are three DIMM slots per memory channel. 
• We recommend long term thinking! Purchase the maximum amount that your HP ProLiant DL385P G8 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 DL385P G8 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server can support 1333 and 1600 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM, RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant DL385P G8 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 DL385P 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 DL385P 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 DL385P 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 DL385P G8 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 384 GB using twenty-four 16 GB RDIMM with a dual processor configuration and can be upgraded to 768 GB using twenty-four 32 GB LRDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant DL385P G8 Server has 4 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 and 1-B for processor 1 and then 1-C and 1-D for 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.
