For online spare memory support, you must observe the following additional
guidelines:
■ The system ROM must be up-to-date.
NOTE: If you are installing optional DIMMs before powering up your server for the first
time, it is not necessary to update your system ROM.
■ Online spare memory support must be enabled through RBSU.
■ The health driver must be installed and operating properly.
■ DIMMs installed in bank C must be of equal or greater capacity than the
DIMMs installed in banks A or B.
For example, if bank A is populated with two 64-MB DIMMs and
bank B is populated with two 256-MB DIMMs, bank C must be
populated with two 256-MB or greater DIMMs in order for online spare
memory support to function properly.
The following table lists the 2
× 1 interleaving DIMM option kits available
from Compaq for use with your ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 server. Use the
option kit part number when you order additional memory for your server. Use
the spare and component part numbers for reference when you order
replacement parts or when you contact a Compaq authorized service provider.
