HP PCs, Tablets and Accessories - Using USB Type-C to Transfer Power and Data HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 10) HP Desktop PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 10, 8).

I know what RAM is compatible with my server, but without taking the lid off I don't know what specific modules I've got.

It took two seconds to find out from vSphere that I've got eight(8) 8GB DDR3 1333MHz modules in the thing, but I don't know if they're registered or unbuffered, Single Rank or Dual Rank, low voltage or not, or what their timings are.

What's the quickest and most painless way to find out this information so I can buy some more RAM and know 100% that it will work?

Many thanks in advance.

Please look at your server's ILO4 interface.

Warranty Check; Unknown Warranty. HP PCs, Printers - Finding the Serial Number. You can find the serial number using the HP Printer Assistant, Solution Center. Q: How do I determine the serial number of a computer using the operating system? Answer Windows. Open a command prompt (by choosing the Command Prompt item from the Start menu, or typing cmd in the Start menu's 'Run' box), and type the following. Jul 06, 2018  I have a HP ProLiant DL380 G3 server and I need to check the original equipment configuraton via the service tag. Dell has a page for this, and I'm sure that HP.

  • I wanted to check and see if the warranty was still good on the drive, so I went to HP's website to try to find out. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which information to put in as far as the serial and product number.
  • Find HP Proliant serial number from Windows I’ve had several instances when HP System Management isn’t operational and I don’t physically have access to a server to check its serial number. Thankfully this can be easily queried from windows by running the following command from a command prompt.
  • HP was recently made aware of a vulnerability in certain inkjet printers by a third-party researcher. HP has updates available for download to address the vulnerability. HP has updates available for download to address the vulnerability.

If you want to 'know 100% that it will work', you should not only look at the modules already installed but also at which module configurations are listed as supported in your Proliant's QuickSpecs (I assume this is a DL380p G8), the User Guide or the HP Memory Configurator.

An excerpt from the relevant QuickSpecs' section:

General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:

  • White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel. For 1 DPC (DIMM per channel) populate white slots only.
  • A minimum of one DIMM is required per server.
  • 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 andto load the channels similarly whenever possible.
  • When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
  • Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel. Heaviest load (DIMM withmost ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor.
  • RDIMMs operating at either 1.35V or 1.5V may be mixed in any order, but the system will power them at the highervoltage.
  • Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, and UDIMMs.
  • LRDIMMs are supported up to 3 DIMMs per channel.
  • Using the HP RBSU, 1.35V DIMMs can be changed to operate at 1.5V.
  • 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.
  • HP memory from previous generation servers is not qualified on the DL380p Gen8 Server. Certain HP SmartMemoryfeatures such as memory authentication and enhanced performance may not be supported.
  • To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HP SmartMemory is required. For additionalinformation, please see the HP SmartMemory QuickSpecs at:http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14225_na/14225_na.html

You indeed would need a bit of information about the current configuration. You might get it by going through the output of dmidecode, the supported route though would be running HP Insight Diagnostics from the Intelligent Provisioning suite accessible by hitting F10 during BIOS POST. See the Intelligent Provisioning docs for more detail.

Assuming you're running VMware ESXi/vSphere, you can run console commands to get more detailed information on the hardware components. Specifically, you should be able to get the part number, and look that up online.

Note from point 2 in particular, that dmidecode is not available on all versions, in which case you can use smbiosDump which will provide the same information.

So to summarize:'dmidecode less' or 'smbiosDump less', look for the part number of your memory modules and look them up online to find their specifications.

If you ever need to have a repair performed on your company's HP computer, it's likely that an employee at the repair shop will ask when it was manufactured. This helps the technician get an idea of what type of replacement components will be required. If a common hardware problem plagues computers manufactured during a specific time span, finding the date can help the technician expedite your repair, getting the computer back into service to help avoid any office productivity loss. All you need to determine your HP's date of manufacture is the serial number.

1.

Find your computer's serial number, which is typically etched into the rear housing panel. If your computer still displays the sticker near the back of the tower, the serial number also can be found there.

2.

Look for the year of manufacture amongst the various letters and numbers. Hp tuners keygen cracked. Most HP serials begin with letters, have several numbers in the middle, and end with another group of letters. The year of manufacture will appear in the middle of the number as four consecutive digits. If you purchased your computer new, look for the year you purchased it.

3.Warranty

Find the two digits that follow the year of manufacture. These indicate the week that your computer was manufactured. For example, if your year of manufacture is '2009' and this is followed by '14,' the computer was assembled during the 14th week of 2009.

4.

Look at a calendar of the year of manufacture, or a calendar for the current year if you can't locate one. Skip to the week your computer was manufactured to find out in which month your computer was manufactured.
