ML570G3 Memory Configuration Option

[Ruslan]

Has anyone experience of configuring memory option of this model? I'm interesting about 389356-B21 HP CTO ML570 RAID Memory option. What is it? I need to configure 32GB of AVAILABLE memory with protection. If I'll select HP RAID Memory with 48GB (12*(2*2SR)GB DIMM), this option MUST HAVE?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Ruslan,

where did you get that part number? I can't find it anywhere in Product Bulletin.

You will need 3 extra memory boards (348107-B21) and then fill them all with 2GB SR DIMMs (including replacing the memory that comes as standard with the server), for a total of 48GB, with 25% for RAID overhead (12GB). Leaving you 36GB for use by OS. Don't see how you can get exactly 32GB available as all 4 boards must have the same amount of memory. Replacing 2x 2GB DIMMs on each board with 1GB DIMMs would give you 40GB total, 30GB available.

Regards,
Stephen

Thanks for replay Stephen. I got this number via HP Enteprise Configurator when select MEMORY option menu... I was suprised with this unknown option :)
