HP Advanced Memory
Error Detection
Technology
In the ProLiant System ROM upgrade (version May 2011 or later), HP enhanced memory error protection
with HP Advanced Memory Error Detection Technology. This innovation monitors several memory
parameters and seeks out specific defects that either cause performance degradation or significantly
increase the probability of a non-recoverable memory condition. By improving the prediction of critical
memory error conditions, this technology prevents unnecessary DIMM replacement and increases server
uptime.

HP Active Health System
Future ROM updates will enable HP SmartMemory to will work in conjunction with HP Active Health System
which monitors changes to the server hardware configuration to enable lifecycle monitoring of memory
health status. Having insight into memory related service events will shorten diagnosing problems and
deliver rapid resolutions if and when failures occur. Whereas Pre-Failure Alert simply notifies the
administrator of an impending failure, HP SmartMemory will provide insight with rich information on
memory-related events like multi-bit errors or configuration issues.
