Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the memory
congurations for the HP Z230 Tower and HP Z230 SFF Workstation and to
provide recommendations to optimize performance.
Supported memory modules
The types of memory supported on the HP Z230 Tower and HP Z230 SFF Workstations are:
• 4 GB and 8 GB PC3-12800U 1600MHz DDR3 Unbuered non-ECC DIMMs
1, 2
• 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB PC3-12800E 1600MHz DDR3 Unbuered ECC DIMMs
1, 2
• Single and dual rank 2 Gb and 4 Gb based DIMMs
1, 2
See the Memory Technology White Paper for additional technical information.

Each processor supports up to 2 channels of DDR3 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must be inserted into each
channel.

Intel® Xeon E3, Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory. Intel Core i5 and i7 processors
only support non-ECC memory.

Multi-Core is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will
necessarily benet from use of this technology. 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor,
chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate
(including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware
and software congurations. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. See intel.com/info/em64t for more
information.
