HP ProLiant DL580 G5 - Base memory configuration for 16 DIMM sockets in the 8 GB configuration
Standard Memory
8 GB PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs (DDR2-667) (4 x 2 GB)
All HP ProLiant DL580 G5 systems come standard with 4 banks of memory sockets spanning 4 memory channels for a total
of 16 DIMM sockets on board memory . Memory slots xA and xB already populated with memory (2P models with 4x 1GB
FBDIMM memory modules and 4P models with 4x 2GB FB DIMM memory modules) to help achieve maximum performance.
Upgrading Memory and Memory Interleaving
To achieve maximum memory performance and flexibility, the HP ProLiant DL580 G5 requires memory to be upgraded in
groups of four identical FBDIMMs populated across the four memory channels. In simple terms, the two FBDIMM locations
at xC and the two xD locations must be populated with four identical part numbered FBDIMMs. Memory population continues
by populating locations xE and xF, then xG and xH. FBDIMM architecture does not allow any gaps in this sequence such
that if locations xE and xF were populated and xC and xD were not, the memory at xE and xF would not be recognized by
the system.
Standard Memory Plus Optional Memory
Up to 104 GB memory is available with the standard memory and the optional installation of 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and/or 8 GB
PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs. One possible configuration is shown below, in which 48 GB is added to the standard 8 GB
for a total of 56 GB.
Standard Memory Replaced with Optional Memory and Utilizing the Optional Memory Expansion Boards
Up to 128 GB memory is available with the removal of the standard memory and the optional installation of 1 GB, 2 GB, 4
GB, and/or 8 GB PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs. Up to 256 GB memory is available with the removal of the standard
memory, the installation of the DL580 G5 Memory Expansion Boards Option, and the installation of 8 GB PC2-5300 Fully
Buffered DIMMs.
