Server Features

Hot Plug RAID Memory

The HP memory RAID technology stands for Redundant Array of Industry-Standard
DIMMs. The ProLiant DL740 server supports up to 40 GB of Hot Plug RAID
Memory using industry-standard PC133 SDRAM DIMMs (32 GB of addressable
memory). The DIMMs are installed in five Hot Plug RAID Memory cartridges. Hot
Plug RAID Memory allows for the following server service and management
capabilities while the server is running:

• Memory hot-replace—Allows the replacement of failed DIMMs. This feature is

built into the hardware, is operating system-independent, and requires no drivers.

• Memory hot-add—Allows the addition of extra banks of memory without

powering down the server. This feature requires operating system support and
drivers.

• Memory hot-upgrade—Allows the upgrade of existing DIMMs with

larger-capacity DIMMs without powering down the server. This feature requires
operating system support and HP drivers.
