For increased uptime, productivity and ROI - HP Care Pack packaged services for Servers

These days, you need to get the most out of your server investment - you can't afford not to. When you buy HP server products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable as your server. Unlike server-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment, bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Servers.

Protect your business beyond the warranty

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts - but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime - but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.

Extending warranties with HP Care Pack Services

For cost-effective upgrading or extending your standard warranty, HP Care Pack Services offer a suite of standard reactive hardware and software support services that are sold separately, or combined as with our Support Plus and Support Plus 24 services. The portfolio also provides a combination of proactive and reactive services, such as Proactive 24 Service and Critical Service. In addition, with HP Proactive Select we offer an innovative approach to service delivery that gives you the flexibility to acquire the specific proactive services you need today, then add services as your needs evolve. HP Proactive Select offers a broad set of technical or per-event type service options - including server, storage, and network, SAN device, and software, environment, installation and education services. Services that you can mix and match depending on your specific requirements, from preliminary planning and equipment delivery to installation, configuration, integration, and testing, through every level of ongoing support. Our HP Care Pack packaged services for Servers assures help when you need it most. And for many products, post-warranty HP Care Pack Services are available when your original warranty has expired.

HP Server Services: Offering reliability, flexibility and value - just like your storage

4 GB PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs (DDR2-667) (4 x 1 GB)
All HP ProLiant DL580 G5 systems come standard with 4 banks of memory sockets spanning 4 memory channels for a total of 16 DIMM sockets on board memory. The optional DL580 G5 Memory Expansion Boards Option adds an additional 16 DIMM sockets, which brings the Dl580 G5 to a total of 32 DIMM sockets.

Upgrading Memory and Memory Interleaving
To achieve maximum memory performance and flexibility, the HP ProLiant DL580 G5 requires memory to be upgraded in groups of four identical FBDIMMs populated across the four memory channels. In simple terms, the two FBDIMM locations at xC and the two xD locations must be populated with four identical part numbered FBDIMMs. Memory population continues by populating locations xE and xF, then xG and xH. FBDIMM architecture does not allow any gaps in this sequence such that if locations xE and xF were populated and xC and xD were not, the memory at xE and xF would not be recognized by the system.

Standard Memory Plus Optional Memory
Up to 228 GB memory is available with the standard memory of 4 GB and the optional installation of 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and/or 8 GB PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs (DDR2-667) in all embedded DIMM sockets as well as the memory expansion boards slots. One possible configuration is shown below, in which 56 GB is added to the standard 4 GB for a total of 60 GB.

Standard Memory Replaced with Optional Memory
Up to 256 GB of memory is available with the removal of the standard 4 GB of memory and the optional installation of PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs in all the embedded slots as well as the memory expansion boards slots.
