HP SmartMemory
HP SmartMemory, introduced for Gen8 servers, authenticates and unlocks certain features available only on
HP Qualified memory and verifies whether installed memory has passed HP qualification and test processes.
Qualified memory is performance-tuned for HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers and provides future
enhanced support through HP Active Health and manageability software.
Certain performance features are unique with HP SmartMemory. HP SmartMemory 1.35V DDR3-1333
Registered memory is engineered to achieve the same performance level as 1.5V memory. For example,
while the industry supports DDR3-1333 RDIMM at 1.5V, this Gen8 server supports DDR3-1333 RDIMM at
1.35V. This difference equates to up to 20% less power at the DIMM level with no performance penalty.
Memory subsystem architecture
The memory subsystem in this server blade is divided into channels. Each processor supports four channels,
and each channel supports two DIMM slots, as shown in the following table.
