Z220 CMT/SFF Xeon E3 memory kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB unbuffered ECC DIMMs built for HP and Compaq Workstation Z220 CMT and SFF models running Intel Xeon E3 processors. The modules operate at DDR3 1600 with CL11 timing and 1.5 V voltage. They install directly into the 240-pin slots without additional configuration.

Builders upgrading a supported Z220 workstation

The kit is validated for the listed Z220 part numbers and the specified Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium and Xeon CPUs on the C216 chipset. It will not fit systems that require registered DIMMs, a different DDR generation, or a 240-pin form factor not matching this platform. Buyers with other workstations or consumer desktops should verify their motherboard documentation before purchase.

2Rx8 unbuffered ECC at DDR3 1600

Each module uses a 2Rx8 organisation with major-brand chips and no heat spreader. The CL11 11-11-11 timing and 1.5 V rating match the Z220 memory controller requirements for stable ECC operation. Confirm your specific model number appears in the compatibility list to ensure correct fit and function.

Questions about this item

Does my HP Z220 workstation need an Intel Xeon E3 processor for this ECC DDR3 kit to function?

Yes, the kit is validated only for Z220 CMT/SFF systems equipped with an Intel Xeon E3 CPU; other processors listed for the platform are not supported with this ECC memory.

Will these 240-pin DDR3 1600 CL11 modules run at rated speed if my Z220 currently has slower DDR3 installed?

The motherboard will clock all installed DIMMs to the lowest common speed, so mixing with slower DDR3 will cause this kit to downclock rather than run at 1600 MHz.

How can I confirm the 16 GB kit is recognised correctly after installation?

Enter the system BIOS or UEFI and verify that total memory shows 16 GB, speed reads 1600 MHz, and ECC status is reported as enabled.
