Additional Tips

For applications doing direct bus Peer-to-Peer transfers between cards, load the corresponding cards in slots off the CPU.
If possible, make sure all I/O cards are loaded in slots that have a PCI-Express Lane Width at least as wide as the card (see Figure 3).
For predictable latencies, try disabling NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) mode (BIOS setup menu -> Advanced -> Performance Options -> Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) = Disable).
For cards that are latency sensitive, load these cards in processor slots.
Ensure Idle Power Savings BIOS setting is set to Normal (BIOS setup menu -> Advanced -> Power Options -> Idle Power Savings = Normal).
Use the latest system BIOS version available on hp.com.
Check for updates in the latest performance optimization white papers (link below).

16GB and 32GB RDIMMs supported by HP are x8 and can be mixed in a system
64GB RDIMMs supported by HP are x4 and cannot be mixed with other sized DIMMs in a system

Memory Features
This platform supports the new DDR5 technology:

DDR5 supports higher bandwidths, capacities, and power efficiencies
Improves reliability features
DDR5 has increased technology efficiencies
Adds support for on-die ECC
- On-die ECC is where the data stored on the memory module is monitored by the DRAM for errors
- Only single-bit errors are automatically corrected, multi-bit errors are not detected
But system ECC is still supported on all RDIMMs
- Single-bit errors are automatically corrected
- Multi-bit errors are detected and will cause the system to immediately reboot and halt with an F1 prompt error message
- By way of comparison, non-ECC memory (not supported on this platform) does not detect or correct single-bit or multi-bit errors which can cause instability, or corruption of data, in the platform. See Memory Technology White Paper for more information.

Command and Address parity is supported
Command and Address errors are detected and will cause the system to immediately reboot and halt with an F1 prompt error message.

This platform supports 4 memory controllers with 2 channels per memory controller for a total of 8 channels that increases system performance

Optimize Performance
System performance is largely based on the applications being used. Generally, to obtain the best performance, it is advised that you follow the following guidelines:

For best performance, it is recommended to load memory into all memory controllers and channels. Since these platforms have 4 memory controllers and 8 channels, install memory in sets of 4 or 8.
Proper individual DIMM capacity selection is essential to maximizing performance. Evenly distributing total desired memory across all operational channels and memory controllers will deliver the best performance.
To increase overall performance, install multiple ranks in each channel. This can be accomplished by installing 2 single ranked DIMMs in the same channel.
Maximum performance can be achieved by changing the OS power mode to Ultimate Performance in BIOS.

Loading Rules

Load the memory modules in order of size, starting with the largest module and finishing with the smallest module.
Each channel includes two DIMM sockets; black and white connector pairs represent a channel. The DIMMs should be loaded first in the black sockets and then in the white sockets. The DIMMs should be loaded starting with the DIMM furthest from the CPU, with the first DIMM loaded in the right most socket and alternating sides of the CPU.
See the figure below for loading order.
