Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

This chapter provides the procedures for opening the Processor/Memory
Complex, installing a memory board, installing DIMMs, and installing memory
board DC-to-DC converters.
To ensure you have the correct DIMMs before installation, refer to one of the
following for a list of qualified DIMMs:

HP Customer Service

Tools Required

Use an anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes
a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap.

Memory Installation Guidelines

Each Memory Board can support from 1 GB to 32 GB. The server supports up to
64 GB of system memory.
•
Use only HP DIMMs, which are 3.3V, 168-pin, PC100, buffered SDRAM
DIMMs in 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB modules.
•
DIMMs must be installed in the order indicated by the numbered slots on
the memory board in groups of four. Verify that the same size DIMM is
used in any given row by using the same HP part number.
•
To ensure optimum performance when two boards are installed, the
memory on each board should be equal, that is, the DIMMs should be the
same type and quantity.
•
Ensure both latches close on the DIMM when completely installed.
•
When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.
