HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

Elevate your server performance with the HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module. Built for reliability and scalable capacity, this memory upgrade is designed to maximize uptime and throughput in HPE SmartMemory-enabled systems. Ideal for small to medium businesses and enterprise environments, it delivers faster data access, improved virtualization performance, and robust error protection to support demanding workloads as your infrastructure grows.

• Performance boost for virtualization, databases, analytics, and other memory-intensive workloads. The 32GB capacity combined with DDR4 technology reduces bottlenecks, accelerates application response times, and improves overall system efficiency when running multiple virtual machines, large datasets, or in-memory processing tasks.
• SmartMemory integration for automatic optimization and proactive reliability. This module works with the server to optimize memory topology, monitor health, and communicate with the system firmware to help prevent failures and downtime through predictive analytics and error detection.
• High-capacity DDR4 memory for scalable expansion. With 32GB per module, you can increase total memory to support larger datasets, more virtual machines, and memory-intensive workloads, enabling your servers to handle growing demands without disrupting performance.
• Reliability and data integrity as core benefits. Fully equipped with ECC and server-grade quality, these modules protect against single-bit errors and maintain data accuracy across critical applications, helping to minimize unplanned outages and maintenance windows.
• Energy-efficient design to reduce operating costs. DDR4 memory operates at optimized voltages with efficient power management, contributing to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) while maintaining high performance and stability.

How to install HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down the server completely and unplug from power. Ground yourself to discharge any static electricity before handling components.
• Open the server chassis or memory DIMM cage according to the system maintenance procedure. Ensure you have a clean workspace and avoid touching the connector pins.
• Consult the server’s memory population guidelines to determine the correct slot order and population sequence for maximizing bandwidth and stability. Remove any existing module if you are replacing, or plan your configuration if adding.
• Align the module’s notch with the slot key and firmly press straight down until the latches click and the module is seated evenly. Confirm both ends are secured and the module is fully engaged with the connector.
• Reassemble the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI or the operating system’s memory management utility to confirm the 32GB module is detected. Run a memory diagnostic if available to verify integrity and performance.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this memory compatible with all HP ProLiant servers? A: It is designed for HPE SmartMemory-enabled servers. Compatibility depends on your specific model and the server’s memory population guidelines. Always verify against the official HPE memory compatibility matrix for your server model.
• Q: What speed will this module run at in my system? A: The supported speed is determined by the server’s BIOS/UEFI and the module SKU. Common speeds are DDR4-2666, DDR4-2933, or DDR4-3200 MT/s, depending on the hardware platform and firmware.
• Q: Does this module include error correction? A: Yes. The module features ECC (Error-Correcting Code) to detect and correct single-bit errors, enhancing data integrity in critical workloads.
• Q: Can I mix these 32GB modules with existing memory? A: Mixing memory can affect performance and stability. It’s best practice to match module type, capacity, speed, and rank according to your server’s memory population rules. Refer to your server’s documentation for recommended configurations.
• Q: How do I know I have the correct part number for my server? A: Check the part number, SKU, or UPC printed on the memory package and compare it with the server’s official memory compatibility list. If in doubt, consult HPE support or your vendor to verify compatibility before purchasing.
