OWC 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1333 ECC RDIMM Kit for HP ProLiant SL160z G6, SL170z G6, SL2x170z G6

Server-Specific ECC Registered Memory

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3-1333 ECC registered DIMMs built for HP ProLiant SL160z G6, SL170z G6 and SL2x170z G6 servers. It operates at 1.5V with CL9 latency and a 2Rx4 rank configuration. The modules are designed for workstation and server platforms that require registered memory with error correction. They will not work in standard desktop computers or alongside unbuffered DIMMs.

Simple DIMM Installation With Compatibility Rules

Installation follows the standard 240-pin DIMM procedure: power down the server, open the chassis, align the notch and press firmly until the retention clips engage. The main risk is mixing these registered ECC modules with unbuffered memory or installing them in a system that does not support registered DIMMs. The manufacturer recommends using identical capacity, speed and vendor modules across all populated slots for optimal stability.

Verify Your ProLiant Model And Memory Configuration

Before ordering, confirm your server is an HP ProLiant SL160z G6, SL170z G6 or SL2x170z G6. Check the existing memory population to ensure the platform supports registered ECC DDR3 and that you are not mixing registered and unbuffered modules. Match the 1.5V voltage, PC3-10600 speed and CL9 timing with any DIMMs already installed. This kit replaces HP part numbers including 500205071, 500205171, 500206071 and 500662B21.
