Memory options

You can expand server memory by installing PC2-5300 Registered DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs. Each server
supports up to 24 GB of memory using six 4-GB DIMMs.
For DIMM slot locations and bank assignments, see "System board components (on page 8)."

Advanced ECC memory

Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server blade. In Advanced ECC,
the server blade is protected against correctable memory errors. The server blade provides notification if
the level of correctable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server blade does not fail
because of correctable memory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC
because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in
a server blade failure.
Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit
memory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the DIMM.

DIMM installation guidelines

Observe the following DIMM installation guidelines:
•
Always install PC2-5300 Registered DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs.
•
Always install DIMMs in sequence (1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E, and 6F).
•
If only a single DIMM is installed, HP recommends installing it in slot 1A.
