How to Install HPE SmartMemory 8GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

• Power down and disconnect: Turn off the server, unplug it from the power source, and remove all peripheral connections to ensure a safe work environment.
• Open the chassis: Remove the access panel or service door according to your HP ProLiant model’s maintenance procedure to access the memory slots.
• Ground yourself: Use an antistatic wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface to discharge static electricity before handling memory components.
• Identify the correct slot: Locate the available DIMM slot(s) in the memory bank that match your server’s population guidelines and slot ordering for optimal performance.
• Install the module: Align the notch on the memory module with the slot key and insert it firmly, evenly, and straight into the DIMM socket until it seats and the retention latches engage.
• Reassemble and power up: Reinstall the chassis cover, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify that the memory is recognized and operating at the correct speed.
• Verify in the OS: Once the server posts, check the operating system and server management tools to confirm the 8GB module is detected and functioning within the expected memory configuration.
