Installing the Compaq ProLiant 5000 Server
See Chapter 5, "Special Features of Compaq ProLiant 5000 Servers," for
terminator board information regarding one- and two-processor
configurations.

Adding Memory (DIMMs)

The 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 10, "Server Management," for more information.
You can expand computer memory by installing Compaq DIMMs (Dual Inline
Memory Modules). The system supports up to 16 DIMMs on two memory
boards installed in dedicated slots on the I/O board.
You must observe the following guidelines when installing additional
memory:
DIMMs installed in the ProLiant 5000 server must be rated at
60 nanoseconds or faster, Fast Page Mode, 72 bits wide, 3.3 volts
and ECC.
DIMMs must be installed in matched sets of four, identical in speed
and size and divided evenly between the two memory boards. For
example: four 16-megabyte, 60ns Compaq modules, two on each
board and in corresponding slots.
First install DIMM sets in slots 1 and 2 on each memory board.
Then install DIMM sets in slots 3 and 4 on each memory board.
Then install DIMM sets in slots 5 and 6 on each memory board.
Then install DIMM sets in slots 7 and 8 on each memory board.
Sets of four of different sizes may be used; for example, four 16-MB modules
and four 32-MB modules may be used in the same system.
DIMM option kits from Compaq contain four matched modules.
