either hot-plug or non-hot-plug procedures, depending on how the server is
configured.

You cannot perform hot-plug procedures when the system is configured for:
— Advanced ECC memory
— Online spare memory
— Single-board mirrored memory
While you cannot currently hot-add DIMMs, hot-add capabilities will be
available in a future software release, enabling you to dynamically increase
system memory capacity while the system is running. For more information
about hot-add functionality, refer to the HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 and
HP ProLiant ML570 Generation 2 Server Hot-Add Memory document, located
on the server documentation CD.
You cannot perform hot-replace procedures when the system is configured for
advanced ECC (standard) memory.
You can perform a hot-replacement procedure when the server is configured for
hot-plug mirrored memory, enabling you to remove a memory board, remove a
failed or degraded DIMM, replace it with a new DIMM, and reinstall the
memory board, all without powering down the server or experiencing server
downtime.
The replacement procedures in this section apply to both hot-plug and non-hot-plug
memory procedures, except as noted.
NOTE: Hot-add memory allows ranges of memory to be added to the server and made
available to the operating system and applications as part of the normal memory pool without
requiring a reboot of the server. For more information. refer to the HP ProLiant DL580
Generation 2 and HP ProLiant ML570 Generation 2 Server Hot-Add Memory document,
located on the server documentation CD.
