Collection: HPE BL460C Gen8 RAM Memory Upgrades

HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Memory Configuration

The BL460C Gen8 is a Dual Processor system with 8 DIMM slots per CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages two DIMM slots. Along with standard RDIMMs and UDIMMs, the BL460C Gen8 also supports Load Reduced DIMMs, as well as options for standard or low voltage. You cannot mix different memory types. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Memory Upgrade Tips

• There are a total of 16 DIMM slots on the HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 server.
• Sizes supported: 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB ECC Registered (RDIMM); and 2GB, 4GB or 8GB Unbuffered (UDIMM); and 32GB Load Reducing (LRDIMM).
• DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT MEMORY TYPES.
• The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 maxes out at 512GB of ECC Registered memory (16 x 32GB). Whereas unbuffered tops out at 128GB (16 x 8GB).
• The absolute top of the line RAM would be via load reducing memory. The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 could get all the way up to 1TB (16x64GB) Memory.
• Do not forget to remove the air baffle prior to installing memory for this model.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your HPE ProLiant BL460C 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 BL460C Gen8 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server can support up to 1333, 1600, and 1866 MHz based on DIMM and configuration. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant DL360E Gen8 Server can support 1066, 1333 and 1600 MHz based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server?
   The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM, RDIMM, LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server supports registered memory (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 HPE ProLiant BL460C 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 BL460C 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 BL460C 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 BL460C Gen8 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 256 GB using sixteen 16 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded up to 512 GB using sixteen 32 GB LRDIMM. For up to 128 GB use 16 x 8 GB UDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server has 4 memory channels which house 2 DIMM slots per processor in a dual processor configuration.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The HPE ProLiant BL460C Gen8 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially beginning with the first white memory channel 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.
