The HP C7996A (C7996A - HP 64MB CompactFlash (CF) Memory Card) is a Flash Memory component engineered for sustained enterprise-class workloads. This part addresses common procurement scenarios where exact-match replacement, capacity expansion, or new-build deployment is required. Technical specifications include capacity of 64 MB. Common deployment scenarios include database server upgrades (in-memory caches, SQL buffer pools), VMware ESXi / Hyper-V virtualization host memory expansion, GPU compute scratch pools, and HPC node provisioning. Pro Disk Network maintains the C7996A in our enterprise inventory and verifies each unit against manufacturer datasheet specifications prior to listing. New stock ships factory-sealed where available; refurbished units are tested under load before dispatch and ship with a 90-day Pro Disk Network functional warranty. Same-day dispatch on in-stock orders placed before 3pm ET; free standard ground shipping on US orders over $150.
The C7996A is a HP flash memory component with capacity 64 MB. Pro Disk Network sells the C7996A for $83.88 with same-day US shipping and a 30-day return guarantee.
Quick Answer: What servers is the C7996A compatible with?
The C7996A is a HP flash 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 C7996A ship?
Pro Disk Network dispatches the C7996A same-day on orders confirmed before 3 pm ET. Multi-pallet projects requiring crating ship within 2 business days. International shipping (Canada, Mexico, EU, APAC) takes 3-7 business days via DHL Express or FedEx International Priority.
The C7996A 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.
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.
Tanzu / Kubernetes Workers — Worker node memory expansion for high-density container deployments. Plan for 8–16 GB per moderate Pod baseline.
What is the C7996A?
The C7996A is a HP server memory module with capacity 64 MB, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about C7996A
Is the C7996A a genuine HP part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every C7996A as factory-original HP inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned HP servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.

What is the warranty on the C7996A?
New C7996A units carry the full HP manufacturer warranty (typically 1 to 5 years depending on product line). Refurbished and bulk-OEM units include a Pro Disk Network advance-replacement warranty (90 days refurbished). DOA replacement is free within 30 days of receipt.

Compatibility: Rank, Density, and Channel Population Rules
Memory population order for Xeon Scalable is documented in the motherboard manual; the typical rule is to populate channels symmetrically across both CPU sockets and across all six channels per socket. For two-socket builds with eight DIMMs, populate the white slot first on each channel; for sixteen-DIMM builds, populate both slots on every channel. Asymmetric population leaves performance on the table.
Pricing Strategy: New, Bulk, or Refurbished
The C7996A is available across three procurement tiers, and the choice is driven by criticality, warranty coverage, and budget. New (sealed OEM) units carry the full HP manufacturer warranty and command a 20-30% premium over bulk-OEM tier. New (bulk-OEM) units are factory-fresh modules sold without retail box. Refurbished units come from decommissioned servers, are individually MemTest-validated, and carry a 90-day advance-replacement warranty.
