Hot-Add Memory Installation on HP ProLiant DL580
Generation 2 and ML570 Generation 2 Servers

downtime and service interruption when performing a memory upgrade.
Hot-Add functionality is a feature developed for the HP ProLiant DL580
Generation 2 and HP ProLiant ML570 Generation 2 servers. These servers can be
upgraded through a System ROM, dated February 4, 2003 and later, and Advanced
System Management Controller Driver, version 5.28 and later, available at:
