Memory Capacity - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Service & Reference Manual

Open slots between DIMMs is also permitted.
l
Mixing DIMM sizes and placing the DIMMs in any order on both memory boards is still
l
permitted, but the same size DIMM must be placed in the corresponding slots on both boards.
NOTE

Memory Capacity

The minimum capacity is 256 MB (one DIMM) using one memory board.
l
Supported memory capacity is 8 GB (4 GB per memory board) at a total of 32 DIMMs (16
DIMMs per memory board).
As an increase in single DIMM sizes becomes available for the HP NetServer, the maximum
allowable memory will increase, but the maximum number of DIMMs will remain at 32. For
example, a 512 MB DIMM would increase memory capacity to 16 GB, (8 GB per memory
board).
NOTE
(Shown installed in HP NetServer, underside displayed.)
58
If a mismatch is detected during the boot up memory tests, both mismatched DIMMs
will be de-configured to the lower value of the two DIMMs.
DIMM sizes larger than 256 MB may be available after the initial release of the HP
NetServer LXr 8500.
