HP Trusted Platform Module Option
NOTE: The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microcontroller chip that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the server platform. These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates and encryption keys. Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is a
data protection feature available in Windows Server® 2008. BitLocker leverages the
enhanced security capabilities of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2. The TPM
works with BitLocker to help protect user data and to ensure that a server running
Windows Server 2008 has not been tampered with while the system was offline. For more
information about TPM, including a white paper, go to: http://www.hp.com/go/TPM.
NOTE: ProLiant OS pre-installed units will come with the partition required for TPM
deployment.
NOTE: The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained.
Misplacing or losing the key could result in data loss.

Memory Subsystem
Architecture
Each Intel® Xeon® E5-2600v3 family processor socket contains four memory channels per installed processor with two
DIMMs per channel for a total of eight (8) DIMMs or a grand total of sixteen (16) DIMMs for the server.
Memory Population
guidelines
General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:
Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
If only one processor is installed in a two processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed
processors and load the channels similarly whenever possible.
When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
Place the DIMMs with the highest number of ranks in the white slot when mixing DIMMs of different ranks on the
same channel.
Do not mix RDIMMs or LRDIMMs.
Quad rank RDIMMs are not supported in HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 servers.
Quad rank LRDIMMs are capable of up to two DIMMs per channel.
DIMMs of different speeds may be mixed in any order; the server will select a common optimal speed.
The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
The maximum memory capacity is a function of the memory type and number of installed processors.
To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HP SmartMemory is required.
