Frequently Asked Questions about DC160A
Is the DC160A a genuine HP part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every DC160A 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 servers is the DC160A compatible with?
The DC160A 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.

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 DC160A 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.
