Population order For memory configurations with a single processor or multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F). After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure memory support. Installing a DIMM CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the air baffle, drive blanks, and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up. 1. Power down the node (on page 19). 2. Remove the node from the chassis ("Remove a node from the chassis" on page 19). 3. Remove the access panel (on page 20). 4. Open the DIMM slot latches. 5. Install the DIMM. 6. Install the access panel (on page 21). 7. Install the node into the chassis ("Installing a node into the chassis" on page 25). 8. Power up the node ("Powering up the system" on page 19). To configure the memory mode, use RBSU ("HP ROM-Based Setup Utility" on page 52). Hot-plug hard drive guidelines When adding hard drives to the node, observe the following general guidelines: • The system automatically sets all device numbers. • If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest bay number. • Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.

).
4.
Open the DIMM slot latches.
5.
Install the DIMM.
6.
Install the access panel (on page

Hot-plug hard drive guidelines
When adding hard drives to the node, observe the following general guidelines:
•
The system automatically sets all device numbers.
•
If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest bay number.
•
Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
