how to install HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

Follow these steps to install the HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module safely and effectively, ensuring proper seating and maximum reliability in your server environment:

• Power down the server completely and disconnect the power cord to prevent any electrical risk or static discharge.
• Open the server chassis according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and locate the memory slots that correspond to the channel configuration required by your server model.
• Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge. Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface before handling memory components.
• Align the notch on the edge of the HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module with the slot key, then insert the module firmly into the DIMM slot until the retention clips click into place on both sides.
• Seating multiple modules? Install them in the recommended order and populate channels as advised in your server’s memory population guidelines to maximize bandwidth and performance.
• Close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the server. Run the system memory diagnostic tools or your server’s built-in POST tests to verify that the module is detected and operating correctly.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this memory module compatible with all HPE servers? A: The HPE SmartMemory 32GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module is designed for servers that support DDR4 SmartMemory.
