HPE ProLiant Microserver Memory
The original ProLiant MicroServer (N36L, N40L and N54L) has 2 DIMM slots and takes HPE PC3-10600E unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB. Every kit on this page fits every MicroServer of this generation, so the only decision is how much memory you want. HPE rates it at up to 8GB with 4GB in both slots.
- 2 DIMM slots, 1 processor
- PC3-10600E unbuffered ECC, 1GB to 4GB
- Up to 8GB
- Runs at 800 MHz
Specifications match the HP ProLiant MicroServer QuickSpecs (Version 28; the 2GB and 1GB kits are listed in HPE's Version 21 and were removed in Versions 22 and 23). The Gen8 and Gen10 MicroServers use different memory.
How the two slots fit together
Two slots (1A and 2B), one DIMM per kit. HPE lists the memory as PC3-10600E unbuffered DDR3 ECC "operating at 800MHz", so the kit's 1333 rating is not the speed you get; every kit on this page runs at the same speed.
| DIMMs installed | Slots used | Total with 2GB kits | Total with 4GB kits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 of 2 | 2GB | 4GB |
| 2 | 2 of 2 | 4GB | 8GB |
HPE's configuration chart shows 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB totals; the document does not describe the channel layout or any mixing rule, so install two identical DIMMs when you fill both slots.
Three rules that avoid a return
1 Unbuffered ECC only
This server takes unbuffered ECC DIMMs. Registered and load-reduced kits from DL and ML servers will not work.
2 Match what is already installed
Adding a second DIMM? Read the HP part number on the DIMM label and buy the same kit, so both slots hold identical DIMMs.
3 Check the generation
This page is for the N36L, N40L and N54L MicroServer. The MicroServer Gen8 and Gen10 take different memory; check your model label before ordering.
