| Notes: – Please select one or more memory from above. – For new Gen11 memory population rule whitepaper and optimal memory performance guidelines, please go to: https://www.HPE.com/psnow/doc/a50007481enw – Memory DIMM availability with a server platform is dependent upon completion of certification testing. – The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model. – Memory compatibility may vary or be limited within a specific server family depending upon the specific configuration being requested. Because each server environment and requirements can vary, memory compatibility is based not only upon the server family, but may also be affected by the amount and type of additional hardware options installed within a specific server configuration. For this reason, some HPE memory DIMMs may be qualified for a server model or family and yet occasionally not be supported with limited configurations within that server family. Please consult with the HPE server QuickSpecs or your HPE representative if you have any questions regarding memory compatibility with a specific HPE. – Minimum 128 GB GB memory must be configured per node – DDR4800 RDIMMs can support up to 3 TB – DDR6400 RDIMMs can support up to 1.5 TB – Mixing of x4 & x8 memory is not allowed – 8 GB-128 GB memory SKUs can run the transfer rate of 3200 MT/s at both 1 DIMM and 2 DIMM per channel | |

Summary of Changes
| Date | Version History | Action | Description of Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08-Sep-2026 | Changed | This version represents a major platform refresh rather than a maintenance update. The document transitions the lead platform from HPE SimpliVity 325 Gen11 (DL325 Gen11) to HPE SimpliVity 325 Gen12 (DL325 Gen12), introduces a new storage architecture based on SAS SSDs and MR416 controllers, adds HPE SimpliVity Software 7.0, introduces HPE StoreOnce integration, Stretch Cluster capabilities, HPE VM Essentials enhancements, and reworks licensing from primarily socket-oriented messaging to a new Usable Capacity (TiB) licensing model for Gen12. At the same time, the document retains Gen11 content for installed-base support. The cumulative effect of this version is a strategic repositioning from a Gen11-based hyperconverged platform to a next-generation Gen12 platform.
