Installing a Memory Module

The system has eight DIMM slots that support up to 16 GB
maximum system memory (2 GB in each of the eight DIMM
slots).

Memory Installation Guidelines

Observe the following important guidelines when installing
memory modules:
• Use only HP supported PC2-3200 (400 MHz) registered ECC
DIMMs in 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB capacities
• Memory modules must be installed in pairs of the same size.
• HP recommends installing memory modules in progressively
larger capacity following the slot sequence listed below:
— DIMMA1 and DIMMB1 – smallest capacity modules
— DIMMA2 and DIMMB2
— DIMMA3 and DIMMB3
— DIMMA4 and DIMMB4 – largest capacity modules
To install a memory module:
1. Perform the pre-installation procedures described earlier.
2. If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that
prevent access to the DIMM slots.
3. Locate an empty DIMM slot on the system board.
4. If necessary, open the holding clips of the selected DIMM slot.
5. Remove the memory module from its protective packaging,
handling it by the edges.
6. Install the memory module:
a. Orient the module so that the notch on its bottom edge
aligns with the keyed surface of the DIMM slot, and then
press it fully into the slot.
The DIMM slots are structured to ensure proper
installation. If you insert a memory module but it does not
fit easily into the slot, you may have inserted it incorrectly.
Reverse the orientation of the module and insert it again.
b. Firmly press the holding clips inward to secure the memory
module in place.
If the holding clips do not close, the module is not inserted
correctly
7. Perform the post-installation procedures described earlier.
