Collection: HP SL160S G6 Memory Upgrades

HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Memory Configuration

The SL160S G6 is a Dual Processor blade system with 9 DIMM slots per CPU. There are three memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages three DIMM slots. This means the SL160S G6 will only support two Quad Rank or two unbuffered DIMM per channel. Along with standard RDIMM and UDIMM, the SL160S G6 also supports options for low voltage. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 supports 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DDR3 registered DIMM.
• The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 can hold up to 384GB of RAM with a 12 x 32GB LV RDIMM configuration
• It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible.
• Each processor has three memory channels, totaling six channels per server, and each channel supports up to three DIMM.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run up to 1600MHz
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HP ProLiant SL160S G6 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 SL160S G6 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server?
   The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HP ProLiant SL160S G6Server?
   The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server can support 800, 1066, 1333, or 1600 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server?
   The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, and LV RDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server supports registered and low voltage 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 SL160S G6 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 HP ProLiant SL160S 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. 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 DL360E 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 SL160S G6 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. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 24 GB using six 4 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded to 384 GB using twelve 32 GB LV RDIMM and up to 48 GB using twelve 4 GB UDIMM.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HP ProLiant SL160S G6 Server has 3 memory channels per processor which house 3 DIMM slots, with a total of 18 DIMM and 6 channels per server.
    
    
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.
