Installing Additional Components
Extender Board Switches and Jumpers
The processor extender board includes switches and jumpers. These switches are factory preset and must not
be altered except by an HP Service Representative.
Replacing the Processor Extender Board
To replace the processor extender board, follow these steps:
Step 1. Ensure that the extraction levers are positioned in the outward, unlocked position.
Step 2. Align the processor extender board with the left and right card guides.
Step 3. Slide the processor extender board in until it begins to seat in the socket located on the midplane
riser board.
Step 4. Push the extraction levers inward to the locked position in order to fully seat the processor extender
board into the midplane riser board socket.
Step 5. Replace the front cover and front bezel.
Step 6. Verify processor operation by using the system utilities.
• Use the iLO MP commands and the BCH commands to verify operation.
• Use MAKODIAG provided by the offline diagnostic environment to exercise the processor.

Installing Memory

The standard configuration of HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers include a 16-DIMM memory extender
board. This extender board must contain a minimum of 1 GB of memory (four 256 MB DIMMs loaded in quad
0 [connectors 0A, 0B, 0C, and 0D]). (Figure 3-28)
An optional 32-DIMM memory extender board is available to replace the 16-DIMM memory extender board.
This extender board must contain a minimum of 1 GB of memory (four 256 MB DIMMs loaded in quad 0
[connectors 0A, 0B, 0C, and 0D]). (Figure 3-29)
You can insert additional DIMMs into both 16- and 32-DIMM boards. When adding DIMMs, you must use a
minimum of four like-sized DIMMs in the next available quad.
Supported DIMM Sizes
Up to 128 GB of memory can be installed in the server. Supported DIMM sizes are as follows:
• 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB.
Dissimilar DIMM sizes can be used across the extender board, but all four DIMMs in each quad must match.
For cooling purposes, you must install DIMM fillers into unused connectors.
DIMM Slot Fillers
Both the 16- and 32-DIMM extender boards must have DIMM slot filler boards placed over all unfilled DIMM
connectors. As you fill DIMM quads with additional memory, you must remove the DIMM slot fillers covering
the connectors. All remaining DIMM fillers in unused connectors must remain in place to maximize internal
cooling.
NOTE One DIMM filler board covers two adjacent DIMM connectors. Remove DIMM slot fillers as you
add memory and you will always retain the correct configuration.
