optimal speed.
The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and
processor model.
The maximum memory capacity is a function of the memory type and number of installed
processors.
HP memory from previous generation servers is not compatible with the DL380 Gen9
Server. Certain HP SmartMemory features such as memory authentication and enhanced
performance may not be supported.
To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HP SmartMemory is
required. For additional information, please see the HP SmartMemory QuickSpecs at:

.

There are four (4) Memory channels per processor; eight (8) channels per 2 processor
server.
There are three (3) DIMM slots for each memory channel; twenty four (24) total slots for 2
processor server.
Memory channels1 and 3 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are furthest from the
processor.
Memory channel 2 and 4 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are closest to the processor.

Population order; start with "A" first, "B" second, "C" third, etc.
When one processor is installed, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order: A, B, C, D, E,
F …
When two processors are installed, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order: CPU1-A,
CPU2-A,CPU1-B,CPU2-B,CPU1-C, CP2-C
