Quick Answer: What servers is the AB395A compatible with?
The AB395A is a HP server memory module. Confirm DIMM rank, voltage, and speed against the target server's supported memory list before deployment - mixed configurations may downclock to the slowest installed module. For server-specific population diagrams, email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your server serial number.
How fast does the AB395A ship?
If in stock, the AB395A ships same business day on US orders placed before 3 pm ET. Most US ZIP codes receive next-business-day or 2-day delivery via FedEx/UPS Ground or Express. Bulk and project orders shipping in pallets are typically dispatched within 24-48 hours.
The AB395A is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
VMware Cluster Memory — Per-host memory expansion for vSphere ESXi hosts. Match DIMM rank and speed across all sockets to keep memory channels balanced.
In-Memory Database — SAP HANA, Redis Enterprise, Apache Ignite, Aerospike — workloads that scale linearly with DRAM capacity.
Hyper-V Cluster Node — Windows Server 2019/2022 Hyper-V hosts with Storage Spaces Direct. Dynamic memory allocation makes higher-density DIMMs cost-effective.
AI / ML Training — PyTorch and TensorFlow workloads benefit from large host memory pools for dataset preprocessing and CPU-side feature engineering.
What is the AB395A?
The AB395A is a HP server memory module with capacity 1 GB and number of sticks 4, manufactured by HP. Pro Disk Network ships this part new and certified-refurbished from our US warehouse with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 3 PM ET, backed by a 30-day return guarantee.

Pro Disk Network Buyer’s Guide: Server Memory
Compatibility: Rank, Density, and Channel Population Rules
For server memory, three numbers dominate compatibility: rank, density, and channel population. Mixing rank or density in the same channel forces the memory controller to fall back to the lowest-common-denominator speed and timings, sometimes by 200-400 MHz, which wastes the upgrade you just paid for. Before installing the AB395A, run the platform's memory configuration utility (Dell DSET, HPE iLO Memory tab, Lenovo XCC Memory page) to identify what's already populated.
Pricing Strategy: New, Bulk, or Refurbished
For production tier-1 databases (SAP HANA, Oracle Exadata-equivalent, SQL Server Always On), use new sealed OEM units only. For VDI hosts, hyperconverged clusters, and general-purpose virtualisation, bulk-OEM is the cost-optimal choice. For development environments, lab gear, and capacity expansion on aging hardware, refurbished is appropriate — the price savings are 60-75% versus new.
