BIOS errors and warnings
The BIOS generates warnings/errors on invalid memory configurations:
●
If the BIOS can find a valid memory configuration by disabling plugged-in memory, it does so and
reports a warning during POST. the workstation can still be started. The warning will indicate the
location of the failed DIMM on the system board.
●
If there is no way for the BIOS to obtain a valid memory configuration by disabling plugged-in memory,
the BIOS halts with a diagnostics 2006 code for memory error (five beeps and blinks).
DIMM installation guidelines
●
Install only HP-approved DDR4 DIMMs
CAUTION: HP ships only DIMMs that are electrically and thermally compatible with this workstation.
Because third-party DIMMs might not be electrically or thermally compatible, they are not supported by
HP.
●
Install only HP-approved DDR4 DIMMs. See
http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to find DIMMs that are
compatible with the workstation.
●
UDIMM (Unbuffered), RDIMM (Registered) and LR DIMM (Load Reduction) memory cannot be mixed. All
memory installed in the system must be either UDIMM or RDIMM or LR DIMMs.
