Single Memory Board
l
A single memory board may be installed in the HP NetServer, for up to eight DIMMs, in either
slot, left or right.
However, for more than eight DIMMs, a second memory board must be
installed to maintain compliance with Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards.
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.
