Memory Advanced ECC (Standard) Memory Technology This section details the features and DIMM installation requirements for advanced ECC memory. Features Advanced ECC memory has the following advantages: • The server can support up to 16 GB of system memory using 2-GB DIMMs. • Advanced ECC memory detects both single-bit and multi-bit errors, and corrects single-bit errors. It can also detect and correct 4-bit errors that occur within a single DRAM chip on a DIMM. DIMM Installation Requirements Observe the following DIMM configuration requirements when installing DIMMs: • Use only industry-standard PC1600 registered DDR SDRAM DIMMs in 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, and 2-GB capacities. • Install DIMMs in pairs, one bank at a time. • Be sure that both DIMMs in a bank are the same capacity. • Be sure that bank A is populated. IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you use only HP DIMMs. Third-party DIMMs may have additional installation requirements. For information about third-party DIMM installation requirements, refer to the Advanced Memory Protection white paper on the HP website: www.hp.com/servers/proliant/manage IMPORTANT: You must power down the server before installing additional DIMMs. IMPORTANT: Follow all DIMM configuration requirements carefully. If the DIMMs are not configured properly, you receive an error message during POST. HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 Server Memory Installation Guide 1-11
