HP SmartMemory
HP SmartMemory authenticates and unlocks certain features available only on HP Qualified memory and
verifies whether installed memory has passed HP qualification and test processes. Qualified memory is
performance-tuned for HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers and provides future enhanced support through
HP Active Health and manageability software.
Memory subsystem architecture
The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. Each processor supports four channels, and
each channel supports three DIMM slots, as shown in the following table.

For the location of the slot numbers, see "DIMM slot locations (on page 18)."
This multi-channel architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. This architecture
also enables Online Spare Memory mode.
DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the population order. Slot
numbers indicate the DIMM slot ID for spare replacement.
