The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading
from the DIMM.
Dual-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current
DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4-GB.
DIMM identification
To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and
table.
Item Description Definition

Rank 1R = Single-rank
2R = Dual-rank
4R = Quad-rank
3
Data width x4 = 4-bit
x8 = 8-bit

Voltage rating L = Low voltage (1.35v)
Blank or omitted = Standard

Memory speed 10600 = 1333-MHz
8500 = 1066-MHz
6
DIMM type R = RDIMM (registered)
E = UDIMM (unbuffered with ECC)
For the latest supported memory information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com).
UDIMM maximum memory configurations
The server supports a maximum of 16 GB, using 1-GB, 2-GB, and 4-GB single- or dual-rank UDIMMs.
