HP Enterprise server memory module SPS-BD MEM 256M 72BT DDR with battery backup

HP Enterprise SPS-BD MEM 256M 72BT DDR with battery backup is a 256 MB server memory module with a 72-bit DDR organization and an integrated battery backup system. Designed for enterprise server environments, this module preserves cached write data during power interruptions and supports controlled shutdown and data integrity in compatible HP Enterprise systems.

Advantages

The module provides hardware-level protection for cached data through its integrated battery backup, minimizing risk of data loss during unexpected power events. Its 72-bit organization includes parity or ECC support for improved error detection and correction, contributing to system reliability. The compact form factor and industry-standard DDR interface allow straightforward replacement or upgrade in supported servers without major configuration changes.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers requiring battery-backed write cache protection
• Systems that use 72-bit DDR memory with ECC/parity support
• Environments where preserving cached data during power events is critical
• Server maintenance and memory module replacements in compatible HP Enterprise systems

Key specifications

• Capacity: 256 MB
• Memory organization: 72-bit (supports ECC/parity)
• Memory type: DDR
• Integrated battery backup to preserve cached data during power loss
• Designed for enterprise server use and compatible HP Enterprise systems

How to use

Install the memory module in a compatible server following the manufacturer's hardware installation procedures and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from mains power before physical installation unless the server documentation specifies hot-swap capability. After installation, verify firmware and system settings recognize the module and the battery backup status. Monitor battery health according to system management utilities and replace the module if battery capacity degrades below recommended levels.

Usage recommendations

Use this module in systems explicitly listed as compatible by the server manufacturer. Maintain up-to-date firmware and management software to ensure correct interaction with the battery backup feature. Store and handle the module in an ESD-safe environment and replace the module or its battery backup component when diagnostics indicate reduced battery capacity to maintain data protection.
