HPE Standard Memory

HPE Standard Memory offers the best combination of pricing, quality, reliability and compatibility for HPE ProLiant servers; designed to help your business achieve powerful results with right-sized affordable solutions. It delivers the ideal value that small businesses require to smoothly run a small network server environment and provides entry-level businesses while being affordable.

HPE Standard Memory UDIMMs has passed the rigorous Hewlett Packard Enterprise qualification and testing processes. The memory subsystem in this server supports UDIMMs. The server supports single-rank and dual-rank DDR5 UDIMMs operating at up to 4400 MT/s DIMM speeds

Memory Population Guidelines

The server supports two channels per processor with two DIMMs per channel for a total of four DIMMs per MicroServer Gen11 Server.

General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:

− The HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen11 Server has four memory slots.

− Only ECC UDIMMs are supported on MicroServer Gen11. No support for non-ECC UDIMMs.

− Memory speed support depends on the type of processor installed. For more information, see the technical specification of the installed processor.

− The server supports up to 4400 MT/s ECC UDIMMs (Unbuffered DIMMs).

− The server supports up to 128GB (4 x 32 GB) UDIMMs.

− Population order; start with "A" first, "B" second, "C" third, etc.

− The server does not support Non-ECC UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs

− Mixing memory DIMMs of different capacities in the server is not recommended.

− Always use HPE qualified DIMMs.

− For Server Memory Population Rules for HPE ProLiant Servers with Intel® Xeon® 6300-series Processors or Intel® Xeon® E-2400 − − Processors see details here: http://www.hpe.com/docs/server-memory

− For details on the HPE Server Memory Options Population Rules, visit: http://www.hpe.com/docs/memory-population-rules

− To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HPE DDR5 Smart Memory is required. For additional information, please see the HPE DDR5 Smart Memory QuickSpecs.

Notes:

− The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.

− For details on the HPE Server Memory speed, visit: https://www.hpe.com/docs/server-memory

− HPE Server Memory compatibility for a specific server platform may vary or be limited within a server platform 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 an HPE server model or family and yet occasionally not be supported with some configurations within that server family.

DDR5 memory options part number decoder

Capacity references are rounded to the common gigabyte (GB) values.

• − 16 GB = 16,384 MB
• − 32 GB = 32,768 MB
• − 64 GB = 65,536 MB
• − 128 GB = 131,072 MB

For more information on memory, please visit the HPE DDR5 Standard Memory web site.

Notes:

The -B21 memory SKUs shown in this document are to be used when ordering stand-alone memory only. For each -B21 SKU, there is a corresponding -F21 SKU which is to be used when configuring servers with integrated memory DIMMs.

Notes:

− The declared mean A-weighted sound power level, LWA,m, is computed as the arithmetic average of the measured.

− A-weighted sound power levels for a randomly selected sample, rounded to the nearest 0,1 B.

− The declared mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level, LpA,m, is computed as the arithmetic average of the measured A-weighted emission sound pressure levels at the bystander positions for a randomly selected sample, rounded to the nearest 1 dB.

− The statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared mean A-weighted sound power level, LWA,m, such that there will be a 95 % probability of acceptance, when using the verification procedures of ISO 9296, if no more than 6,5 % of the batch of new equipment, has A-weighted sound power levels greater than (LWA,m + Kv).

− The quantity, LWA,c (formerly called LWAd), can be computed from the sum of LWA,m and Kv.

− All measurements made to conform to ISO 7779 / ECMA-74 and declared to conform to ISO 9296 / ECMA-109.

− B, dB, abbreviations for bels and decibels, respectively, where 1 B = 10 dB.

− The results in this declaration apply only to the model numbers listed above when operating and tested according to the indicated modes and standards. A system with additional configuration components or increased operating functionality may increase the noise emission values.

− The listed sound levels apply to standard shipping configurations defined as per the legacy WW BTO model plan.

Additional options may result in increased sound levels, for example, higher power processors (>65W), additional graphic processing units (GPU), SSDs or NVMe M.2.
