Replacing or adding baseboard DIMMs 

Introduction 

The baseboard provides four slots that support DDR266 SDRAM DIMMs. The server ships with 
two DIMMs that provide a total of 512 Mbytes of memory. DIMMs must be installed in pairs, and 
can be expanded to 8 Gbytes of memory.  

DIMM sizes and compatibility 

Contact your Nortel Networks sales representative or customer support representative for a list of 
approved, Nortel Networks-qualified DIMMs for the HMS 400 server. 
 

ATTENTION 

Do not use DIMMs that have not been approved by Nortel 
Networks.
