Guidelines for installing memory modules
• Use only HP supported PC2-3200 (400 MHz) registered ECC DIMMs in 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB
capacities
IMPORTANT: Use only HP supplied DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources can adversely affect data integrity.
• HP recommends installing memory modules in progressively larger capacity following the slot sequence
listed below:
• DIMMA1 and DIMMB1 – smallest capacity modules
• DIMMA2 and DIMMB2
• DIMMA3 and DIMMB3
• DIMMA4 and DIMMB4 – largest capacity modules
• Install memory modules in pairs of the same size following the population order illustrated in Table 1.
