Installing Hardware Options, Hot-Pluggable Memory Cartridge Guidelines The ProLiant DL760 G2 server has five Hot Plug RAID Memory cartridges. They are designed to allow the removal of a single cartridge while the server is running. CAUTION: The system will halt with more than one memory cartridge removed. The ProLiant DL760 G2 server has eight memory banks, each consisting of five DIMMs installed across the five memory cartridges. Similar DIMMs are installed in bank pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8) for memory interleaving to increase performance. NOTE: For more details, refer to the memory cartridge covers or DIMM installation guidelines later in this chapter. Memory Cartridge Requirements The following requirements are the minimum Hot Plug RAID Memory configuration requirements: • Five cartridges must be installed. • All five cartridges must have the same configuration and type of DIMMs installed for redundancy (refer to diagram on cartridge cover). IMPORTANT: The server will run in non-RAID memory configuration mode if all DIMM sockets in cartridge 5 are empty. • All DIMMs must be supported by the system (refer to QuickSpecs). • All DIMMs in a bank pair must be same speed, type, and size. They should have the same part number (for example 123456-12x, where x is not required to match). 5-4 HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide
