HP Z840 Workstation Review & Overview | Memory Install Tips | How to Configure HPE System | Gaming

The HP Z840 is an enterprise level desktop workstation. Yes, it runs on server grade components but is inside a desktop form factor. In our video, we will provide an overview specifically focused on memory and CPUs. We will review how to install your RAM upgrades as well as how to properly configure memory inside your HP Z840 tower workstation. We will provide a few general tips and tricks to make your installation process as smooth as possible. Sit back, relax and enjoy the HP Z840 memory tutorial video.

The HP Z840 workstation operates with dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 V3 or V4 series processors, which is an LGA2011-3 CPU socket. We recommend the E5-2620v3 or E5-26230v3 for lower end applications, E5-2660v3 or E5-2670v3 as value CPUs, and E5-2690v4 or E5-2695v4 or E5-2697v4 or E5-2699v4 for higher end applications. There are 16 DIMM slots inside running on DDR4 memory architecture. This is the next generation to the Z820 workstation. With the Z840, you can utilize 2133 MT/s, 24000 MT/s or 2666MT/s. Do note, 2666 will clock down to 2400MT/s, which is technically the fastest speed. Size options include 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB. There are two types of memory you can utilize with your HP Z840 workstation: ECC Registered (RDIMM) or Load Reduced (LRDIMM) server modules. We recommend RDIMMs for lower sizes such as 4GB 8GB or 16GB. However we recommend LRDIMMs for higher DIMM sizes such as 32GB, 64GB or 128GB. With LRDIMMs you can reach quadruple the overall memory capacity compared to RDIMMs. RDIMMs - The max memory configuration is 512GB via (16 x 32GB) DDR4 PC4-19200T-R 2400MHz ECC Registered Server Memory. Whereas LRDIMMs, the max configuration is 2TB via (16 x 128GB) DDR4 PC4-19200T-L 2400MHz Load Reduced Server Memory.

There are two Intel processors. Each CPU controls 8 DIMM slots. There are 4 Memory Channels per CPU. There are 2 DIMM slots per Memory Channel. The memory channels are extremely important. If you are not loading up all 16 DIMMs, then you want to make sure you split your modules evenly across the various memory channels. This is very easy to identify. HP has labeled and color coded to help you easily load your memory upgrades. You always want to start your install at the beginning of the memory channel. Black is the first DIMM slot in each memory channel followed by white second. The proper memory configuration would be in sets of 4 such as 4, 8, or 16 DIMMs to maintain an even load balance/distribution across the Z840 memory channels. In our video, we will discuss the channels in more depth and we will actually load and upgrade our Z840 desktop.

The highly versatile HP Z840 and will work for a wide variety of applications such as a home desktop, gaming or office server. Do you want to buy a refurbished HP Z840? You can custom configure your own Z840 server on our website or contact [email protected] for quotes.
