1-4 Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide System Memory s ECC (Error Checking and Correcting Memory) with single-bit error correction and detection to a single DIMM, and multi-bit error detection to the memory bank s Supports 100 MHz Registered SDRAM s Expandable to 8 GB (16 GB when 16 x 1-GB DIMMs are available) s Supports up to eight memory banks with each bank consisting of two DIMMs. One bank is installed or removed at a time. Each DIMM of a given bank must be of the same size, type, and speed. Cache Accelerator s Increases system performance for 2 to 4 processors s Required for more than 4 processors or if processors are installed on both processor buses Expansion Slots Eleven I/O expansion slots s Nine 33-MHz, 64-bit PCI Hot Plug slots (PCI Buses 1 and 2) s Two 66-MHz, 64-bit PCI Hot Plug slots (PCI Bus 3) PCI Hot Plug PCI Hot Plug provides the ability to remove, replace, upgrade, and add PCI expansion boards without powering down the server. Any PCI board can be placed in a PCI Hot Plug slot. PCI Hot Plug device drivers and OS support, however, are required to enable PCI Hot Plug. The PCI Hot Plug button allows for PCI Hot Plug access directly at each PCI slot. A PCI Hot Plug button is located above each PCI slot, providing PCI Hot Plug control directly at the server without the use of the PCI Hot Plug utility software. For more information about PCI Hot Plug, refer to the Systems Reference Library CD included in the Reference Information pack.
