How do I populate my ProLiant DL320 G6 server with memory?

  • 772

I have problem with a new HP ProLiant DL320 G6 server. From the beginning it had to less memory, and now I have ordered more memory two times. Now I am struggling to populate the server with these memories.

I have two memories: HP 4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R-9 Kit

How should I populate them on the motherboard?

I have tried to understand the documentations, but it's very unclear for me. I have populated slot 1 and 4, but I can not start the server with that configuration.

  1. Have a go with the HP ProLiant DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool which should output a map of what DIMM's are best placed where.

    The memory/DIMM population rules are noted here:

    In summary... You have three channels of three slots per CPU. Populate the DIMMS in the order listed in the diagram... e.g. the first slot within each channel.
