Collection: HP DL980 G7 RAM Memory Upgrades

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 supports 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB registered DDR3 DIMM.
• The ProLiant DL980 G7 can hold up to 4TB of RAM with a 128 x 32GB configuration
• This system supports memory speeds of up to 1333 MHz depending on the type of memory and processor configuration
• Minimum allowable configuration is 16 DIMM (two DIMM on each of the two cartridges connected to processor one through four.
• DIMM must be installed as Quads (four DIMM with identical characteristics). For configuration simplicity HP recommends using identical part numbered DIMM throughout when possible.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HP ProLiant DL980 G7 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.
• To properly configure your system, install a minimum of four memory modules first.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 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 DL980 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server can support 800, 1066, or 1333 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server supports DDR3 with ECC LV RDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server supports low voltage registered memory (LV RDIMM) 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 DL980 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 DL980 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 DL980 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 DL980 G7 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 1 TB using sixty-four 16 GB LV RDIMM and can be upgraded to 4 TB using one hundred twenty-eight 32 GB LV RDIMM in a dual processor configuration. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server has eight memory cartridge slots for each memory drawer which house a total of 128 sockets
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially beginning with the first memory drawer for 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.
