Upgrading The System; Before You Begin; Adding Memory - Intergraph InterServe 8000 System Reference Manual

3 Upgrading the System

This chapter describes how to upgrade an InterServe 8000 server by adding memory, adding
processors, converting from non-RAID to RAID, adding option boards, and adding SCSI drives.

Before You Begin

Follow the instructions in Chapter 1 for opening the unit to access the internal components.
WARNING Heed all warnings and cautions in the accessing, servicing and upgrading instructions.
Personal injury and damage to equipment can occur if documented procedures are not
followed.
CAUTION The system produces high-leakage current. Flip the circuit breaker (if included) to the OFF position
when servicing or upgrading the base unit.
CAUTION Use an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD can damage components inside the system.

The following memory kits are available for adding memory to the system. Each memory kit contains
four SIMMs and a disposable antistatic wrist strap.
