NOTES:
For details on the supported memory configurations on the HP Z4 G4 Workstation, please refer to the System
Technical Specifications - System Board section of this document.
Each processor supports up to 4 channels of DDR4 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must
be inserted into each channel.
c05527757 — DA - 15954 Worldwide — Version 3 —November 29, 2017
The CPUs determine the speed at which the memory is clocked. If an 2400MT/s capable CPU is used in the
system, the maximum speed the memory will run at is 2400MT/s, regardless of the specified speed of the
memory.
NOTE 1: ONLY registered DDR4 DIMMs are supported. DDR3 DIMMs ARE NOT SUPPORTED.
NOTE 2 Memory configurations using 32GB DIMMs require the HP Z4 Memory Cooling
Solution, which is
available both CTO (1MY90AV) and AMO (1XM34AA).
