5 Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

The main memory for the HP Tower Server tc2100 is implemented using three
memory slots on the system board and it supports up to 1.5 GB (512 MB x 3) of
memory. The Server only supports HP 168-pin, PC 133 (133 MHz), 3.3V,
buffered, ECC SDRAM DIMMs and ships with at least one 128 MB DIMM
installed. The embedded video controller is provided with 4 MB standard video
memory and cannot be upgraded.
NOTE
To ensure you have the correct DIMMs before installation, refer to one of the
following for a list of qualified DIMMs:
• HP Order Assistant on the HP web site at:
http://www.hp.com/
• 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

The HP Server tc2100 uses PC 133 (133 MHz) buffered ECC SDRAM DIMMs,
which are electrically different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory
modules used in previous HP Server models.
• DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB in any
combination.
• Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 1.5 GB maximum (512
MB x 3 DIMM slots total). The minimum capacity is 128 MB (one DIMM).
Use only PC 133 (133 MHz) ECC SDRAM DIMMs acquired
from Hewlett-Packard. The EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM
DIMMs from earlier HP Server models will fit into the DIMM
slots in the HP Server tc2100, but the EDO DIMMs and PC
100 SDRAM will not function properly.
