HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 Server and HP ProLiant ML570 Generation 2 Server Hot-Add Memory

When the board insertion is complete, the OS registers the additional memory and it
is then available for use by the OS and applications. The server can support up to 32
GB of memory, and a Hot-Add board insertion can upgrade to the total memory
capacity, assuming all DIMM configuration requirements are met.
Requirements for a Hot-Add Functionality Upgrade
The following requirements and conditions must be met when configuring the servers
for Hot-Add memory functionality.
Supported Operating Systems
At present, Hot-Add functionality is supported on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition.
Memory Mode Requirements for Hot-Add
Several rules and limitations apply regarding when Hot-Add functionality is
supported.
Hot-Add is supported only in the following modes:
• Advanced ECC with a single memory board (one memory board slot available)
• Dual-Board Memory Mirroring Mode (refer to “Changing Dual-Board Hot-Plug
Memory Mirroring to Hot-Add Without Removing the Memory Board”)
