Recently installing some memory in a HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server and got an iLO email with the error<\/p>

“HPE iLO AlertMail-001: (CAUTION) POST Error: 207-Invalid Memory Configuration – Processor 2, DIMM 5 incorrectly installed. Please refer to Memory Population Rules in Documentation. This Memory will not be utilized.”<\/span><\/p>

Logging into the ilo show the new Memory ordered was Rank 2 instead of the current Memory being Rank 1\u00a0<\/p>

When mixing Ranked Memory in a server :<\/p>

“In cases of a heterogeneous mix, take each DIMM type and create a configuration as if it were a homogeneous configuration.” Depending on the per-channel rules, populate the DIMMs with highest rank<\/span> count in white memory slots in each channel, then populate the other DIMMs in the black memory slots in each channel as shown in the following illustration<\/p>

So Fill the Higher Rank stuff ( rank 2 ) in the First of the White Slots\u00a0 \u00a0, any remaining space in the White Slots fill with Rank 1<\/p>

Fill the Black Slots Next in Order<\/p>

Then the Blue Slots Next in Order<\/p>
