HPE Spare 16GB 1Rx4 PC4-2666V-R Smart Kit (850880-001)

The HPE DDR4 16GB 2666MHz memory module provides 16 GB of DDR4 RAM operating at a clock speed of 2666 MHz in a single-module configuration. Designed for use in HP Enterprise servers and compatible workstations, this DIMM is intended to deliver consistent performance for multitasking, database operations, virtualization hosts and general server workloads. The module is engineered for reliability and compatibility with HPE platforms, following standard DDR4 electrical and timing specifications to support stable system operation.

Advantages

This memory module combines a higher data rate with a standard 288-pin DDR4 form factor to increase system responsiveness and reduce latency for memory-bound tasks. With 16 GB capacity per module, it enables better application performance and smoother multitasking compared with lower-capacity modules. The 2666 MHz clock speed balances throughput and compatibility across a wide range of HPE server and workstation platforms, offering predictable performance in mixed workloads while maintaining energy-efficient operation relative to older memory generations.

Suitable for

• Server memory upgrades in HPE ProLiant and compatible systems
• Virtualization hosts handling multiple virtual machines
• Database servers and in-memory caching
• Workstations used for engineering, data analysis or content creation
• Replacement modules to restore or expand existing DDR4 configurations

Key specifications

• Capacity: 16 GB
• Memory type: DDR4 SDRAM
• Clock speed: 2666 MHz
• Form factor: 288-pin DIMM (standard DDR4)
• Single-module configuration: 16 GB per module

How to use

Install the DIMM into a compatible DDR4 288-pin memory slot on a powered-off and grounded server or workstation following the system manufacturer’s service manual. Ensure memory channels and population guidelines are observed for optimal performance, installing modules in matched pairs or arrays as recommended by the platform documentation. After installation, power on the system and verify that the BIOS/UEFI recognizes the new module and that memory voltage and timings match platform requirements.

Recommendations

For best results, consult the HPE platform memory population guidelines to ensure correct channel population and maximum supported capacity per slot. Use modules of identical speed and capacity when populating multiple slots to avoid mismatched timings. Maintain proper anti-static precautions during installation and confirm firmware/BIOS updates where specific memory compatibility notes are cited.
