Overview

The HP ProLiant ML350 G5 requires memory interleaving when more than one DIMM is installed. For interleaving, DIMMs must beconfigured in identical pairs.

NOTE: The system will not boot properly if multiple DIMMs of varying density or type are installed in thesystem.

The server supports the following Advanced Memory Protection (AMP) options to optimize serveravailability.

Advanced ECC supporting up to 16 GB of active memory using 2 GB FBDIMMs.
Online Spare Memory providing additional protection against degrading FBDIMMs supporting up to14 GB of active memory and 2 GB of online spare memory utilizing 2 GB FBDIMMs.

Maximum memory capacities for all AMP modes will increase with the availability of 4 GB and 8 GBFBDIMMs, including a maximum of 64 GB in Advanced ECC mode.

The Advanced Memory Protection option is configured in RBSU. By default, the server is set to AdvancedECC mode. Click here for more information on RBSU.Or refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the DocumentationCD.

NOTE: If the configured AMP mode is notsupported by the installed FBDIMM configuration, the system boots in Advanced ECC mode.

The following configuration requirements apply to all AMP modes:

FBDIMMS must be ECC Registered DDR-2 SDRAM FBDIMMs.
FBDIMMs must be installed in pairs.
FBDIMMS must be populated as specified for each AMP memory mode.

Standard Memory

All HP ProLiant ML350 G5 models ship with PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs (DDR2-667).
Entry models include a single 512 MB DIMM.
Base models include two 512 MB DIMMs (1 GB total memory).
Factory Integrated Models include the memory capacity of your choice.

Common Memory Configuration

Valid DIMM pair combinations use slots 1/5(Bank A), slots 2/6(Bank B), slots 3/7(Bank C), and slots 4/8(Bank D). Maximum supported memory is 16 GB.

Advanced ECC memory

Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server. In Advanced ECC, theserver is protected against correctable memory errors. The server provides notification if the level ofcorrectable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server does not fail because of correctablememory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possibleto correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server failure.

Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bitmemory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on theFBDIMM.

In addition to general configuration requirements, Advanced ECC memory also has the followingconfiguration requirements:

FBDIMMs must be installed in pairs unless operating in single-FBDIMM mode. The server supportssingle-FBDIMM mode only in FBDIMM slot 1A.
FBDIMMs must be installed in sequential order, beginning with bank A.

In Advanced ECC mode, FBDIMMs must be populated as specified in the following table, unless a singleDIMM is used:

Advanced ECC mode FBDIMM configuration
Bank A	Bank C
1A and 5A	3C and 7C
1	—	—
X	—
3	X	—
X	X

Online spare memory configuration

Online spare memory provides protection against degrading FBDIMMs by reducing the likelihood ofuncorrectable memory errors.

FBDIMMs can either be single-rank or dual-rank. Certain FBDIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications. Adual-rank FBDIMM is similar to having two separate FBDIMMs, or ranks, on the same module. Although only a single FBDIMMmodule, a dual-rank FBDIMM acts as two separate FBDIMMs. If the current DRAM technology allows for 2 GB single-rankFBDIMMs, a dual-rank FBDIMM using the same technology would be 4 GB.

In online spare mode, a single rank of memory acts as the spare memory. For single-rank FBDIMMs, the entire FBDIMM acts as thespare memory. For a dual-rank FBDIMM, only half of the FBDIMM acts as the spare memory while the other half is available foroperating system and application usage.

If one of the non-spare FBDIMMs receives correctable memory errors at a higher rate than a specificthreshold, the server automatically copies the memory contents of the degraded rank to the online sparerank. The server then deactivates the failing rank and automatically switches over to the online spare.Because FBDIMMs that experience a high rate of correctable memory errors have a higher probability ofreceiving an uncorrectable memory error, this effectively reduces the likelihood of uncorrectable memoryerrors that would result in server downtime.

Online spare FBDIMM configuration requirements (in addition to general configuration requirements):

When only bank A is being used, it must be fully populated with dual-rank FBDIMMs.
For optimum memory usage, it is recommended that all FBDIMMs be the same size with the same part number.
NOTE: If different sized FBDIMMs are used, a portion of the installed memory may not be utilized.

In online spare mode, FBDIMMs must be populated as specified in the following table:

Online spare FBDIMM configuration
Bank A	Bank C
1A and 5A	3C and 7C
1	—	—
X	—
3	X	—

NOTE:

Configuration 1 (Bank A only) is only supported if using bank A, populated with dual-rank FBDIMMs.
After installing FBDIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for online spare memory support.

Memory population guidelines

General memory population rules and guidelines

A minimum of one DIMM is required per server.
White DIMM slots denote the first slot to be populated in a channel.
Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
If only one processor is installed in a two processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between allinstalled processors and load the channels similarly whenever possible.
When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
Place the DIMMs with the highest number of ranks in the white slot when mixing DIMMs of differentranks on the same channel.
Do not mix RDIMMs or LRDIMMs.
Quad rank RDIMMs are not supported in HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 servers.
Quad rank LRDIMMs are capable of up to three DIMMs per channel.
RDIMMs operating at 1.2 V
DIMMs of different speeds may be mixed in any order; the server will select a common optimal speed.
The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processormodel.
The maximum memory capacity is a function of the memory type and number of installed processors.
To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HPE SmartMemory is required.For additional information, see the HPE SmartMemory QuickSpecs.
Click here to access the QuickSpecs for 'HPE SmartMemory'.
For memory population rules and additional memory guidelines, please see the ML350 Gen9 user guide.
Click here to access the user guide titled 'HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 Server User Guide'.
There are four (4) channels per processor; eight (8) channels per server. There are three (3) DIMMslots for each memory channel; twenty-four (24) total slots Memory channels1 and 3 consists of thethree (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
All GPU Accelerators are restricted to equal less than 1024GB for system HOST memory.
