Memory Installation Guidelines; Installing Additional Dimms - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII User Manual

Chapter 4

Memory Installation Guidelines

• The HP Netserver LP 2000r only uses PC 133 (133 MHz) SDRAM DIMMs,
which are electrically different from the EDO and PC100 SDRAM memory
modules used in previous HP Netserver models.
• DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB in any
combination.
• Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 4 GB maximum
(1 GB DIMM in each of the 4 DIMM slots).
• DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any
order (0 through 3). However, HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling
the slots in order with the largest size first: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
• Open slots between DIMMs are permitted.
• When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.

Installing Additional DIMMs

1. Log off all users, back up files, and power down the HP Netserver.
For detailed instructions, see "Powering-Down the HP Netserver," in
Chapter 1, "Controls, Ports and Indicators."
2. Pull out the anti-tip foot at the bottom of the rack. Then extend the HP
Netserver chassis out from the rack.
It is not necessary to remove the HP Net Server from the rack to install
DIMMs.
3. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the system.
If necessary, label each one to expedite reassembly.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the HP Netserver LP 2000r until the power cable is
disconnected.
4. Remove the top cover.
Refer to "Removing the Top Cover" in Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the
HP Netserver."
5. Remove the air flow guide. See Figure 4-1.
Refer to "Removing the Rear Chassis Blower/Bracket and Air Flow Guide"
in Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP Netserver."
