Memory Installation Guidelines

The HP Netserver LP 1000r only uses 133 MHz (PC133) buffered
SDRAM DIMMs, which are electrically different from the EDO and
PC100 SDRAM memory modules used in other HP Netserver models.
DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB in any
combination.
Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 4 GB maximum
(1 GB in each of the 4 DIMM slots). The minimum capacity is 128 MB
(one DIMM).
DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any
order (0 through 3).
However, HP recommends starting at slot 0 and filling the slots in order
with the largest size first: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Open slots between DIMMs are permitted.
When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.

Installing Additional DIMMs

1. If the system is already installed and working, power down the system.
Refer to Chapter 1, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the
system.
If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.
WARNING
The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the Netserver LP 1000r until the power cable is disconnected.
3. Remove the Netserver chassis from the rack and lay it on a flat surface.
Refer to Chapters 7, 8, or 13 (depending on rack type) for instructions.
4. Remove the top cover.
Refer to Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP Netserver."
