•
All DIMMs installed must be the same speed. Do not install DIMM modules
supporting different speeds. For example, DIMM modules supporting speeds of
266 MHz and 200 MHz should not be installed together.
•
To facilitate successive DIMM installations, install the DIMMs in ascending
sequential order, starting with DIMM socket 1A.
•
DIMMs are installed in banks of two DIMMs per bank. Bank A is DIMMs 1 and
2, and Bank B is DIMMs 3 and 4.
CAUTION:
Use only HP DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources can adversely affect
data integrity.
Refer to
www.compaq.com/quickspecs
for DIMM option kits.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you
are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. Refer to
Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
To install a DIMM onto the system board:
1.
Access internal server components. Refer to “Accessing Internal Server
Components” section earlier in this chapter.
2.
Open the DIMM socket latches.
3.
Align the key slot in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the tab in the expansion
socket.
4.
Insert the DIMM at the same angle as the DIMM socket on the system board. As
the DIMM enters the socket, the latches close.
IMPORTANT:
Misaligned DIMMs do not seat.
5.
Press down firmly on the DIMM while pushing the latches inward until the
latches snap into place.
6.
Reverse the procedures performed in the “Accessing Internal Server
Components” section earlier in this chapter.
