Memory Configuration and SIMM Installation

NOTE
To prevent damage to memory boards and system components from electrostatic
discharge, always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around the system,
and when handling printed circuit boards.

Configuring Memory

Memory in HP 9000/K100 servers can be added in many different megabyte combinations depending on
your use of existing memory, your memory upgrade goals, and the memory size you use. Memory for
your system is purchased and installed only in modules, which are pairs of SIMMs of the same size.
SIMM sizes are 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB, which can be combined to form pairs of modules of
32MB, 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB, correspondingly. The SIMMs each have their size marked on the
board near the upper left corner.
See "Configuring Memory for Optimum Performance" on page 1-13 for guidelines on optimizing
memory

Memory SIMM Rules

Memory SIMM rules for HP 9000/K100 servers are similar to those for HP 9000/K2x0/K4x0/Kx70
systems, except that only four pairs of SIMMs can be installed.
SIMMs must be installed in pairs of identical size (i.e. two 64MB or two 16MB)
