Memory Protection

Advanced ECC

Advanced ECC uses single device data correction to detect and correct single and all multibit error that occurs within a single

DRAM chip.

Online Spare

Memory online spare mode detects a rank that is degrading and switches operation to the spare rank.

Notes: For more information see our Memory RAS feature technical whitepaper.

Expansion Slots

Notes:

- Secondary riser position supports both Low Profile or HHHL cards

HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.

All pre-configured servers ship with a standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper cord (A0K02A). This jumper cord is also included with each standard AC power supply option kit. If a different power cord is required, please check the ProLiant Power Cables web page.

To review the power requirements for your selected system, please use the HPE Power Advisor Tool.
