Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs)

Adding or Replacing Memory

You can expand computer memory by installing industry-standard Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs) into the memory expansion boards. Be aware of
the following when installing additional memory:
I
The ProLiant DL760 server supports 100-MHz Registered SDRAM
128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, and 1-GB DIMMs.

The memory is expandable to 16 GB using 1-GB DIMMs.
Groups of two DIMMs of the same size, type, and speed must be installed or
removed at a time (the eight groups on the memory board are referred to as
banks 1 through 8).
CAUTION: Use only Compaq DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources may adversely
affect data integrity adversely.
IMPORTANT: In systems that require more than one DIMM in a bank, ensure that all the
DIMMs in the bank have the same Compaq part number.
