we are planning for a memory upgrade of our hp ProLiant 380e gen8 server.i've found a refurbish memory on amazon, since we have a limited budget we opted out to buy a refurbish units instead of a new one. we found a seller on Amazon that offers an HP 16GB(2x8gb) kit 2rx4 pc3 10600R 1333MHZ ddr3 SDRAM Memory for $37.18 per kit that is pulled out from dl380 gen 6 servers. is it compatible with our gen8 server? since our server has an existing ram that is PC3-L (low-voltage), does the gen 8 server has backward compatibility on PC3 (standard voltage) Ram? can anyone here confirm that this memory kit is compatible with our gen8 server? thanks, in advance.

Yes. You can use refurbished memory on your HP Gen8 server with some limitations. You can't use PC3L (low voltage) and PC3 on a one memory cannel.
Another way to decide the problem is using PC3L on CPU1 and PC3 on CPU2.
Read HP Gen8 server installation guide.
