How to install Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE 64GB 2Rx4 PC5-4800B-R Smart Kit

• Power down the server completely, unplug power cords, and discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal surface or using an anti-static strap. Ensure the server is in a safe, static-free environment before handling memory components.
• Open the server chassis and locate the memory DIMM slots. Review the server’s service or user manual to identify the recommended memory population order and the correct channels for dual-channel or multi-channel configurations. Remove any existing modules if a full upgrade is required, taking note of slot placement for reassembly.
• Handle the memory modules by the edges and avoid touching the gold contacts. Align the notch on the module with the slot key and insert gently but firmly into the DIMM socket. Apply even pressure until the latches on both sides click into place, signifying a secure installation.
• If your server requires specific slot configuration for optimal performance (for example, per-channel population rules), ensure the two 32 GB modules are placed in the correct slots as indicated by the workstation’s guidelines or the HPE memory population guide. Do not mix with non-matching modules in a way that could disrupt performance or stability.
• Reattach the memory cage or cover, reseal the chassis, reconnect power, and power on the server. Enter the BIOS or system firmware to verify the memory is detected correctly and at the expected speed. Run a memory diagnostic or a quick POST test to confirm stability before putting the server back into production.
• Once the system is up, monitor the server for any memory-related warnings, and consult the HPE QuickSpecs or the server’s health dashboard if you encounter any issues. If you’re integrating with a broader HPE management ecosystem, ensure there are no firmware or microcode compatibility alerts that might affect memory performance.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is included in the HPE 64GB 2Rx4 PC5-4800B-R Smart Kit?
