Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

The NetServer LPr's main memory is implemented with 5V SDRAM DIMMs
(Dual In-Line Memory Modules). The NetServer LPr ships with at least 64 MB
of main memory and supports up to 1 GB. Memory is available in the following
DIMM capacities: 64, 128, and 256 MB.
There are four DIMM sockets on the system board. See Figure 5-1 for socket
location. DIMMs may be installed in any combination in any socket. However,
we recommend starting at socket 0 and filling the sockets in numerical order: 1,
2, and 3.
Use only HP DIMMs. For availability of DIMM upgrade kits for the NetServer
LPr, check the web site at:
