HP ProLiant WS460c G6 E5630 1P 2GB-R Dual FX880M Workstation
632290-B21

(1) Intel® Xeon® E5630 (2.53GHz/4-core/12MB/80W, DDR3-1066, HT, Turbo 1/1/2/2) Processor

HP ProLiant WS460c G6 E5640 1P 4GB-R Single FX2800M Workstation
632291-B21

(1) Intel® Xeon® E5640 (2.66GHz/4-core/12MB//80W, DDR3-1066, HT, Turbo 1/1/2/2) Processor

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:
www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

• For the HP ProLiant WS460c G6 server with twelve (12) memory slots:
  • There are three (3) channels per processor; six (6) channels per server
  • There are two (2) DIMM slots for each memory channel; twelve (12) total slots.
  • Memory channel 1 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are closest to the processor
  • Memory channel 3 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor
• DIMM slots that are white should be populated first
• Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs).
• Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
• If only one processor is installed in a 2CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
• To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
• It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
• Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
• Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor
• For memory mirroring mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. Channels 1 and 2 are populated identically
• For lock-step mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 will be installed in pairs. The paired slots will be 1,4; 2,5 on the BL460c G6
• Low Voltage DIMMs can only be used with Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.
• If mixing DIMM voltage is a requirement, please note that the DIMMs will run at 1.5V since all 1.35V are capable of supporting 1.5V operations
