Adding Memory to the ProLiant 800

The ProLiant 800 memory system uses Error Checking and Correcting (ECC)
memory to detect and correct all single-bit memory errors and detect other
uncorrectable memory errors. See Chapter 2, "Server Management," for more
information.
You can expand server memory by installing Compaq DIMMs (Dual Inline
Memory Modules). The system supports up to 4 DIMMs installed in slots on
the Processor I/O board. The system does not require DIMMs to be installed
in pairs.
You must observe the following guidelines when installing additional
memory:
DIMMs installed in the ProLiant 800 server must be rated at 60
nanoseconds (ns) or faster, EDO, 72 bits wide, 3.3 volts, and ECC.
The same speed DIMMs must be installed, for example, all 60 ns.
The server is shipped with a DIMM in DIMM socket 1 (system board
connector J6).
Install a DIMM in DIMM socket 2 (system board connector J7).
Then install a DIMM in DIMM socket 3 (system board connector J14).
Then install a DIMM in DIMM socket 4 (system board connector J9).
The ProLiant 800 server requires a minimum of 32 MB of memory to operate.
Any combination of DIMMs may be used in the ProLiant 800; for example,
one 32-MB module, one 16-MB module, one 64-MB module, and one 128-
MB module may be used simultaneously.
DIMM option kits from Compaq contain four matched modules.
CAUTION
: Use only Compaq DIMMs. DIMMs from some other sources
are known to adversely affect data integrity.
