Installing System Memory

When adding DIMMs, you must use a minimum of four like-sized DIMMs in the next available
quad. If you are installing DIMMs of different sizes, you must install the largest DIMMs (most
memory) in the first quad. DIMMs in the second quad can be equal to or smaller than (less
memory) the DIMMs in the first quad. If you install DIMMs in the third quad, they must be equal
to or smaller than the DIMMs in the second quad.

rp3410 Memory Configuration

The HP 9000 rp3410 server supports DDR SDRAM DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection.
This server has 12 DIMM slots and supports a maximum of 6 GB of total system memory. Memory
usage in the server varies with the model designation.
In the original server (model A7136A), memory can be installed as one or two pairs in the first
quad (group of four). This allows memory configurations of two, four, eight, or twelve DIMMs.
In the current server (model A7136B), memory must be installed as quads (groups of four). This
allows memory configurations of four, eight, or twelve DIMMs. Thus, the HP 9000 rp3410 server
must include a minimum of 512 MB (model A7136A) or 1 GB (model A7136B) and can include
up to six GB of memory in combinations of 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs. Different size
DIMMs can be installed in the server, but all four DIMMs in a quad must be identical.
