I have this server with 2 CPUs and 12 DIMMs. All slots are occupied. I need to change a faulty memory module. I know it's in the slot 3 (E) of the CPU 1. And here comes my question since I haven't found info in the HP PDF guide.
How do I know which bank (6 slots) of DIMMs belongs to the CPU 1?
Thanks in advance.
Which RAM slots corresponds to CPU 1 on HP ProLiant BL460c G6

You currently have UDIMM unbuffered RAM.
Your server can accommodate two CPUs. There are TWELVE DIMM slots, but only SIX of them are available if you have one CPU. Since your existing RAM is in two adjacent slots, you probably have a single CPU installed. You can use the six slots associated with that CPU for RAM.
The memory guide within the Quickspecs for the HP ProLiant ML150 G6 outline your RAM options.
The Memory Configuration Tool linked above will give you the specifics and part numbers needed to make this happen. Ideally, you'll want to use all registered RAM (fewer constraints). Look for HP part #500658-B21 for 4GB DIMMS.
Servers on this platform have specific DIMM population guidelines. But most of those won't matter except that you're probably using 2GB UDIMMs and that you may only have one processor installed.
If these are UDIMMs, you are allowed to fill two slots per DIMM channel. You mentioned that half of the DIMM slots were initially empty. If you only have one CPU, you can't use half of the slots on the system.
Populate the white slots first, then fill in each channel with the second DIMM.

You should use the RAM slots adjacent to the CPU1 socket.
