Removal and Replacement Procedures 2-23 Dual Inline Memory Modules Compaq ProLiant 8500 servers ship with 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, or 1-GB Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) installed. Memory can be expanded to a maximum of 16 GB. Install SDRAM DIMM module pairs, one module at a time, into the proper sockets. CAUTION: Compaq recommends using only Compaq SDRAM DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources may adversely affect data integrity. Adhere to the following guidelines when installing or replacing memory:  DIMMs must be installed in pairs.  Use only 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, or 1-GB SDRAM DIMMs.  Both DIMMs of a given bank must be the same size, type, and speed. The recommended SDRAM DIMM installation order is to begin with Bank 1, DIMMs 1 and 2, then populate toward Bank 8.

Dual Inline Memory Modules
Compaq ProLiant 8500 servers ship with 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, or 1-GB Synchronous
DRAM (SDRAM) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) installed. Memory can be expanded
to a maximum of 16 GB. Install SDRAM DIMM module pairs, one module at a time, into the
proper sockets.
CAUTION:
Compaq recommends using only Compaq SDRAM DIMMs. DIMMs from other
sources may adversely affect data integrity.
Adhere to the following guidelines when installing or replacing memory:
DIMMs must be installed in pairs.
Use only 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, or 1-GB SDRAM DIMMs.
Both DIMMs of a given bank must be the same size, type, and speed.
The recommended SDRAM DIMM installation order is to begin with Bank 1, DIMMs 1 and 2,
then populate toward Bank 8.
Figure 2-17 shows DIMM memory bank locations 1 through 8 and DIMMs 1 through 16 on the
memory expansion board in Compaq ProLiant 8500 servers.
