HP ProLiant DL740 Server - Manual (Page 118)

Installing Hardware Options, Hot-Plug
1. Begin with memory cartridge 1:
a. Unlock the cartridge and lift it out of the server by following the procedure in
the “Removing the Memory Cartridge” section of this chapter.
b. Remove the DIMMs that you want to upgrade.
c. Install the new memory in the same sockets from which the DIMMs have
been removed in accordance with the following guidelines:
— Similar DIMMs must be installed in bank pairs and in bank pair order
(1+2, then 3+4, then 5+6, then 7+8).
— DIMMs must be of the same speed, type, and size. They should have the
same HP part number (for example 123456-12x, where x is not required
to match).
— More than one bank pair can be installed during a single hot-upgrade
operation.
CAUTION: When handling a DIMM, be careful not to touch any of the contacts.
Doing so may damage the DIMM.
NOTE: Be sure DIMMs are installed in the proper orientation. The DIMMs are keyed to
ensure they are installed correctly in the memory socket.
d. Be sure that all of the DIMM socket levers are rotated inward.
e. Insert the memory cartridge in the server with the cartridge lock in the
unlocked position and secure it in place by rotating the cartridge lever down.
f. Lock the memory cartridge by sliding the cartridge lock to the closed
position.
The system will rebuild and verify the data on the DIMMs in the memory cartridge
while the cartridge power LEDs are blinking. This process is complete when the
cartridge power LED is illuminated solid green, indicating that the cartridge is online.
Memory cartridge 1 is online but the memory has not been activated. The DIMM
status LEDs for the newly installed DIMMs will be blinking.
