RAM modules for dual cpu DL 380 G6 Server

[Viziouz]

Dear Guys,

I'm going to add a second Intel E5520 Quad Xeon CPU to my DL380 G6 Server and increase it's RAM memory from 8GB DDR3 1333mhz unbuffered ECC to 16gb DDR3 1333mhz registered ECC. Should I buy 6 RAM modules or 4 modules of 4gb are OK? My seller told me that this Server needs x3 DIMM slot ocupation when using DUAL CPU but I have some doubts. It that correct?

Thanks in advance.

Does it matter what brand you purchase? does buying non HP OEM brand RAM void the warranty on the server?

I need to Upgrade my DL380 G6 Server from 6GB to 12GB (also Upgrade to dual CPU)

The "old" 3x 2GB are Micron MT18JSF25672PDZ RAM PN: 500202-061 (Spare Part# 501533-01)

But the new one are 3x 2GB Samsung M393B5673GB0 RAM PN: 500202-061 (Spare Part# 501533-01)

Are they compatible without problems?!?!

Hi,

The correct Spare part number is - 501533-001.
It will work.The make does not matter as long the memory module is genuine HP part it is the HP Spare part number that matters.

Thanks & regards,

So it doesn't matter from which Manufacturer it is from only the HP Spare Part Number is important?!

Hi,

To ensure memory compatibility, the memory modules must have the same spare part number.

You can refer to - HP ProLiant Servers - Memory Assembly to Spare Part Number Cross Reference

Thanks & regards,
