Cache Module HP Enterprise 244P 8GB DDR3

Cache Module HP Enterprise 244P 8GB DDR3 is an 8GB DDR3 cache memory module designed for compatible HPE storage and server systems. It provides temporary data buffering to improve read and write performance, reduce latency during backup and data transfer operations, and support smoother I/O under load. The module is intended for system maintenance or upgrades where additional caching capacity is required and integrates with controllers and arrays that accept this form factor and memory type.

Advantages

This 8GB DDR3 cache module increases available volatile buffer space to accelerate sequential and random access patterns, helping to shorten backup windows and speed up restore operations. As a DDR3 module, it offers stable performance characteristics and lower latency compared with systems relying solely on primary storage for transient data. The component is compact and intended for straightforward installation in supported HPE platforms, allowing targeted capacity upgrades without replacing major subsystems.

Suitable for

• Increasing cache capacity on compatible HPE tape and storage controllers
• Reducing backup and restore times in data center environments
• Improving I/O responsiveness during peak write or read operations
• Upgrading existing systems to meet higher transient workload demands

Key specifications

• Memory type: DDR3
• Capacity: 8 GB
• Function: volatile cache/buffer memory for storage and server controllers
• Form factor: module compatible with designated HPE storage/server slots
• Primary use: temporary data buffering to improve read/write performance and reduce latency

How to use

Power down the host system according to the manufacturer's service instructions and follow ESD precautions before handling the module. Install the module into the designated cache memory slot or controller bay on a compatible HPE system until it locks into place. After reassembly and power-up, verify that the system recognizes the added cache through the management interface or firmware utilities and confirm that firmware versions meet any compatibility requirements. If necessary, adjust controller or array settings to make use of the additional cache capacity.

Usage recommendations

Use this module only in supported HPE storage or server platforms and check compatibility with the controller firmware level before installation. Maintain proper electrostatic discharge protection during handling and follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance windows when performing upgrades. For critical environments, verify performance improvements in a controlled test before wide deployment.
