Non-ECC memory on Proliant DL385 g5

hardwarehphp-proliantmemory

Is it possible to use non-ECC memory in the HP Proliant DL385 g5, the server is a test system so error checking is less important

Best Answer

The processors in the DL385G5 do not require ECC RAM, they do require Registered RAM (sometimes called "buffered" RAM). Finding Non-ECC Registered RAM is going to be difficult and expensive.

While it might technically work, it's going to cost much more than just using ECC Registered RAM.
