Sdram Memory; Dual Inline Memory Modules - Compaq ProLiant 8000 Maintenance And Service Manual

SDRAM Memory

Compaq ProLiant 8000 servers use industry-standard synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM)
dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) with single-bit error correction and single/multiple-bit
error detection down to a single DIMM. Memory is expandable to 16 GB (16 x 1-GB DIMMs)
by using all 16 DIMM sockets, two DIMM sockets to a bank. Both DIMMs in a bank must be
the same size, type, and speed, and both DIMMs in a bank must be installed at the same time.
Compaq ProLiant 8000 servers support 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, and 1-GB 100-MHz
SDRAM DIMMs.
IMPORTANT: The Power-On Self-Test (POST) warns of non-supported DIMMs. Mixing of memory speeds
on a memory expansion board is allowed, but the memory expansion board will run at the slowest
memory speed installed.
