4 Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

The HP NetServer’s main memory is implemented using four memory slots on the
system board and it supports up to 2 GB (512 MB x 4) of memory. The NetServer
uses only 3.3V, 168-pin, 133 MHz, buffered, SDRAM DIMMs and ships with at
least one 128 MB DIMM. The embedded video controller is provided with 4 MB
standard video memory and cannot be upgraded.

NOTE

Use only PC 133 (133 MHz) SDRAM DIMMs acquired from
Hewlett-Packard. The EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM
DIMMs from earlier HP NetServer models will fit into the
DIMM slots in the HP NetServer E 800, but the EDO DIMMs
and PC 100 SDRAM will not function properly.

To ensure you have the correct DIMMs before installation, refer to one of the
following for a list of qualified DIMMs:

Tools Required

Use an anti-static service kit (3M 8501/8502/8503 or equivalent). This kit includes
a static-dissipating work surface, a chassis clip lead, and a wrist strap.

Memory Installation Guidelines

The HP NetServer E 800 only uses 133 MHz (PC133) buffered SDRAM
DIMMs, which are electrically different from the EDO and PC100
SDRAM memory modules used in previous HP NetServer models.

DIMMs sizes supported are 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB in any
combination.
