Memory The system has four DIMM slots that support up to 8 GB maximum system memory (2 GB in each of the four DIMM slots). The DIMM slots' holding clips are color-coded to indicate the correct population sequence in a singleor two-DIMM configuration. • Black DIMM slots - DIMM_CH1_C and DIMM_CH2_D • Blue DIMM slots - DIMM_CH1_A and DIMM_CH2_B Memory installation guidelines Observe the following important guidelines when installing memory modules: • Use only HP supported 800 MHz unbuffered ECC DDR II DIMM in 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB capacities. • All DIMMs installed must be of the same speed. • Supported DIMM configurations include: ○ Single DIMM (non-interleaving) - It must be installed in the DIMM_CH1_A slot. ○ Two DIMMs (interleaving) - Populate the blue DIMM slots (DIMM_CH1_A and DIMM_CH2_B). ○ Four DIMMs - For optimum performance, the amount of memory in the black DIMM slots should be equal to the amount in the blue DIMM slots. • DIMMs can be damaged by improper handling. Always use an anti-static wrist strap and grounding mat, and discharge static electricity before touching DIMMs. Removal and replacement procedures 52

Memory
The system has four DIMM slots that support up to 8 GB maximum system memory (2 GB in each of
the four DIMM slots).
The DIMM slots’ holding clips are color-coded to indicate the correct population sequence in a single-
or two-DIMM configuration.
Black DIMM slots – DIMM_CH1_C and DIMM_CH2_D
Blue DIMM slots – DIMM_CH1_A and DIMM_CH2_B
Memory installation guidelines
Observe the following important guidelines when installing memory modules:
Use only HP supported 800 MHz unbuffered ECC DDR II DIMM in 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB
capacities.
All DIMMs installed must be of the same speed.
Supported DIMM configurations include:
Single DIMM (non-interleaving) – It must be installed in the DIMM_CH1_A slot.
Two DIMMs (interleaving) – Populate the blue DIMM slots (DIMM_CH1_A and
DIMM_CH2_B).
Four DIMMs – For optimum performance, the amount of memory in the black DIMM slots
should be equal to the amount in the blue DIMM slots.
DIMMs can be damaged by improper handling. Always use an anti-static wrist strap and
grounding mat, and discharge static electricity before touching DIMMs.
