Collection: HPE SL230S Gen8 RAM Memory Upgrades

HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Memory Configuration

The SL230S Gen8 is a Dual Processor blade system with 8 DIMM slots per CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages two DIMM slots. Along with standard RDIMM and UDIMM, the SL230S Gen8 also supports options for low voltage. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 supports 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DDR3 registered DIMMs.
• Up to 16GB capacity DIMMs are supported for 512GB of memory (16 DIMM slots x 32GB per DIMM).
• Each processor socket contains four memory channels that support two DIMMs each for a total of eight (8) DIMM per installed processor or a grand total of sixteen (16) DIMMs for the server.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run at 1866MHz, 1600MHz, or 1333MHz
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.

Cloud Ninjas' HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server can be upgraded using single, dual rank, and quad rank 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server can support 1066, 1333, 1600 or 1866 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM, RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 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 SL230S Gen8 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 HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server does 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 HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 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 SL230S Gen8 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 256 GB using sixteen 16 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded to 512 GB using sixteen 32 GB LRDIMM or up to 128 GB using sixteen 8 GB UDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server has 4 channels which house 2 DIMM slots.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HPE ProLiant SL230S Gen8 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially beginning with the first DIMM slot 1-A. It is recommended to follow the population order for your system.
    
    
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.
