Opening the server
Installing a hard drive
The server has two 3.5” HDD bays that support non-hot-plug SATA
and SAS drives. The basic system comes with a single hard drive.
The type and capacity of drives vary based on the server model.
IMPORTANT: SAS hard drives require that you also
install the SAS controller board. This board should be
installed in the low profile riser board slot.
Hard drive installation
1. Remove the secondary access panel.
2. Remove the HDD 2 carrier.
3. Install the new hard drive in the HDD 2 carrier.
4. Install the new hard drive in the HDD 2 bay.
5. Connect the drive’s signal and power cables.

Installing a memory module
The system has four DIMM slots that support up to 8 GB maximum
system memory (2 GB in each of the four DIMM slots).
• Channel 1 – DIMM_CH1_A and DIMM_CH1_C
• Channel 2 – DIMM_CH2_B and DIMM_CH2_D
Memory installation guidelines
Observe the following important guidelines when installing memory
modules:
• Use only HP supported 667/800 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:
o Single DIMM (non-interleaving) – It must be installed in the
DIMM_CH1_A slot.
o Two DIMMs (interleaving) – Populate DIMM slots
DIMM_CH1_A and DIMM_CH2_B.
o Four DIMMs – For optimum performance, the amount of
memory in channel 1 should be equal to the amount in
channel 2.
