Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory CAUTION The memory boards and DIMMs from the HP NetServer LXr 8000 will not function in the HP NetServer LXr 8500. Single Memory Board NOTE If there are more than eight DIMMs in the NetServer, two memory boards must be installed to maintain compliance with Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards. l A single memory board may be installed in the HP NetServer in either slot, left or right. If only one memory board is installed there is no need for a terminator in the open memory slot. The BIOS automatically detects if there is one or two memory boards in the HP NetServer during boot-up. l DIMM sizes can be mixed on a single board. See Figure 5-2. l DIMMs can be placed in any DIMM slot, since there are no restrictions. l Open slots between DIMMs is permitted. See Figure 5-2. l DIMMs can be installed in any order, since there are no requirements to load the slots in any specific sequence. Dual Memory Boards l If both memory boards are installed, the boards must be identically configured. l Open slots between DIMMs is also permitted. l Mixing DIMM sizes and placing the DIMMs in any order on both memory boards is still permitted, but the same size DIMM must be placed in the corresponding slots on both boards. See Figure 5-2. NOTE If a mismatch is detected during the boot up memory tests, both mismatched DIMMs will be de-configured to the lower value of the two DIMMs. Memory Capacity l The minimum capacity is 256 MB (one DIMM) using one memory board. • Supported memory capacity is 8 GB (4 GB per memory board) at a total of 32 DIMMs (16 DIMMs per memory board). 50
