Collection: HP SL165S G7 Memory Upgrades

HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Memory Configuration

The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 is a Dual Processor blade system with 12 DIMM slots per CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages three DIMM slots. This means the HP ProLiant SL165S G7 will only support two Quad Rank or two unbuffered DIMMs per channel. Along with standard RDIMM and UDIMM, the HP ProLiant SL165S G7 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 SL165S G7 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 supports 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB DDR3 registered DIMMs.
• The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 can hold up to 256GB of RAM with a 8x16GB QR 8500MHz + 16x8GB DR 10600MHz configuration
• It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
• Each processor has four memory channels, totaling eight channels per server, and each channel supports up to three DIMMs.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run at 1066MHz or 1333MHz
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HP ProLiant SL165S G7 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 SL165S G7 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB or 16 GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server can support 800, 1066, 1333 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server?
   The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM and RDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 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 SL165S 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 SL165S 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 SL165S G7 Server does not support the use of both unregistered and registered memory with ECC or the use of non-ECC memory.
   
   
8. What is max configuration?
   TThe HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 256 GB using eighteen 16 GB quad rank RDIMM plus sixteen 8 GB dual rank RDIMM or 64 GB using sixteen 4 GB UDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server has 3 memory channels per processor which house 3 DIMM slots, with a total of 18 DIMM and 6 channels per server.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HP ProLiant SL165S G7 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially beginning with the first DIMM slot in the memory channel closest to the processor.
    
    
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.
