Couple configuration questions about DL360 G6

David Agosta — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:25:43 GMT

Do the DL360 G6 (model# 504634-001) ship with rails and cable arm or is that an add-on?

Is the prefered method of adding memory in units of 3 (1 DIMM/channel)?

Thanks.

Hi David,
Your local hp presales can confirm whether rails and cable arm ships with server or not.
Sometimes sales person can provide you optional part without any extra charge.

The DDR3 memory should be installed in buntch of 3 units.
Better to use following tool for memory configuration

David the mem configurator does not work correctly,,it has known issues it is hit and miss and not to be trusted til it is sorted..

feks do dl360 g6 mem enquiry for 1 then 2 cpu , and it will be obviously incorrect,

use this doc for memory configuration and to see all available options for your specific server
