Collection: HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 RAM Memory Upgrades

Cloud Ninjas' HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMM slots for the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 is 96.
• The Maximum amount of RAM the ProLiant HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 server can hold is 12TB of Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM).
• When purchasing new memory it is best to purchase identical memory modules to what your system already has. Your current server configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and speed.
• The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 runs on 2133 or 2400 MT/s.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.
• 2133MT/s & 2400MT/s will function properly with your DL580 Gen9. However, all speeds will clock down. Even the absolute best processor possible, E7-8894v4, will only supports speeds up to 1866MT/s. As you fill up the memory channels, this can even clock down to 1600MT/s. For this reason, we recommend the 2133MT/s speed DIMMs to save on money. No extra speed = no extra value = why spend extra money?
• 12TB is max for load reduced modules utilizing 96 x 128GB DIMMs” “6TB is max for ECC Registered. 96 x 64GB
• 3200MT/s 2933MT/s and 2666MT/s speeds will not function. They will not boot at all. It would be nice if they just clocked down, but they will not even post. 2400MT/s is the highest speed you can install, and this will clock down to 1866MT/s or lower based on the processor you have installed.

Cloud Ninjas' HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server can be upgraded using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB and 128GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server can support up to 2400 MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server supports RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 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 HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server does not support 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 HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server supports 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.
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 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 HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 6 TB using ninety-six 64GB RDIMM and can be upgraded to 12TB using 96x 128GB LRDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 is a quad processor system with 96 DIMM slots. There are two memory cartridges per processor which house 12 DIMM slots each for a total of eight memory cartridges.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated beginning sequentially with 4A, 9B, 1C, 12D, etc., for a quad processor configuration.
    
    
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.
