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 DIMMs per channel. Along with standard RDIMMs and UDIMMs, the SL160S G6 also supports options for low voltage. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.
