💡 All three modules use the same 288-pin DDR4 RDIMM form factor and 1.2V operating voltage. However, they are each optimised for different server generations and CPU generations. Always match the DIMM speed to your server’s supported memory frequency. Running a faster DIMM in a slower-rated server will result in automatic downclocking to the server’s supported maximum speed.

Key Features & Benefits
ECC — Enterprise Data Protection
- Error Correcting Code (ECC) automatically detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real time
- Prevents silent data corruption — critical for databases, financial systems, and virtualisation hosts
- Reduces server downtime caused by memory-related crashes and blue screens
- Required for HPE SmartMemory Advanced ECC and Lockstep memory protection modes
Registered (RDIMM) — Signal Integrity at Scale
- Register buffers the address and command signals between the memory controller and DRAM chips
- Enables higher DIMM slot population than UDIMM — critical in 24-slot Gen9 and Gen10 servers
- Provides stable operation at high densities (e.g. 12–24 DIMMs per server) where unbuffered memory would fail
- Slight additional clock cycle latency vs UDIMM is offset by the stability and capacity advantages in server environments
Dual Rank (2R) — Performance & Capacity
- Dual rank organisation allows the memory controller to access two independent sets of DRAM chips per DIMM
- Enables rank interleaving — the memory controller can begin a new transaction on one rank while the other is refreshing, improving sustained throughput
- Higher capacity per DIMM slot compared to single rank — more memory in fewer slots
- Preferred configuration for memory-intensive workloads including virtualisation, databases, and analytics
HPE SmartMemory Exclusive Benefits
- Unlocks advanced HPE memory RAS features: Advanced ECC, Online Spare Memory, Mirrored Memory, Lockstep mode
- Integrated with HPE Active Health System (AHS) — continuous memory health monitoring and predictive failure alerting via iLO
- Enables HPE Workload Profiles for automatic memory sub-system tuning per workload type
- Manageable at scale via HPE iLO Amplifier Pack for fleet-wide memory health visibility
- Rigorously tested and qualified on HPE ProLiant platforms — exceeds JEDEC standard testing
- Fully supported under HPE warranty — generic third-party DIMMs may void server support in some configurations
Memory Population & Configuration Rules
- Always populate DIMMs in matched pairs per memory channel for dual-channel bandwidth and system stability
- Do NOT mix DDR3 and DDR4 modules in the same server — they are electrically and physically incompatible
- Do NOT mix RDIMM, UDIMM, and LRDIMM types within the same server
- If mixing DDR4-2133, DDR4-2400, and DDR4-2666 DIMMs in the same server, all DIMMs will run at the lowest installed speed
- Maximum memory speed is governed by the installed CPU — a faster DIMM cannot exceed the processor’s supported memory frequency
- For Advanced ECC, Mirroring, or Online Spare modes — consult the HPE server’s memory population guide for required DIMM slot configurations
- Always verify your specific configuration using the HPE Memory Configurator at hpe.com/info/HPESC
