HP ProLiant DL760 G2 Server - Manual (Page 133)

Installing Hardware Options, Hot-Pluggable
To install additional DIMMs in the server, you must add them in bank pairs across all
five of the memory cartridges, one cartridge at a time. You must add memory and
bring the cartridge back online before taking the next cartridge offline.
1. Begin with memory cartridge 1:
a. Unlock the cartridge and slide it out of the server following the procedure in
the “Removing the Memory Cartridge” section of this chapter.
CAUTION: Do not remove a memory cartridge if the cartridge power LED is
blinking or is solid green. The system will halt.
b. Lift the memory cartridge cover and add the memory 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 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-add
operation.
CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the
contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
NOTE: Be sure memory modules are installed in proper orientation. The modules are
keyed to ensure that they are installed correctly in the memory socket.
c. Ensure that all of the DIMM socket levers are rotated inward before closing
the cartridge cover and then close the memory cartridge cover.
d. Insert the memory cartridge in the server and secure it in place by closing the
cartridge ejector lever.
e. Lock the memory cartridge in place by rotating the cartridge lock clockwise
to the locked position.
