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 NetServer E 200 uses only 3.3V, 133 MHz (PC133), registered
SDRAM DIMMs, which are electrically different from the EDO and
PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in previous HP NetServer models.
NOTE
The HP NetServer ships with at least one DIMM (64 MB) in the three
DIMM slots of main memory on the system board and supports up to 728
MB. See Figure 5-1 for slot location.
The EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM DIMMs from earlier
HP NetServer models will fit into the DIMM slots in the HP
NetServer E 200, but the EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM
will not function properly. Use only 133 MHz SDRAM
registered DIMMs acquired from HP.
The registered DIMMs are required because the HP NetServer
uses error checking.
