Memory Upgrades
This chapter explains how to install additional memory.
For information on preparing the workstation for upgrades, see Chapter 6.
Installing Additional Memory
Your workstation supports Registered 100-MHz Error Checking and Correcting
(ECC) SDRAM dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). Additional DIMMs
(32-MB, 64-MB, 128-MB, 256-MB, or 512-MB) are available to upgrade the
memory. The workstation has eight DIMM sockets (two groups of four) located
on the system board that support up to a maximum of 4 GB. The eight DIMM
sockets are numbered from DIMM1 through DIMM8.
Each group of four DIMM sockets is dedicated to one memory controller. To
optimize system performance, Compaq recommends balancing the amount of
memory between the two groups of DIMMs. For example, if you install
256-MB in one group of DIMMs, install 256-MB in the second group of
DIMMs.
