Table 4 Server Blade Memory Array Capacities (continued)
Single DIMM Sizes Min / Max Memory Size
2 GB 4 GB / 24 GB
4 GB 8 GB / 48 GB
NOTE: Installing DIMMs as a pair (two identical DIMMs) enables lock-step mode and chip
sparing.
Install DIMMs from highest capacity to lowest capacity (for example, install the 4-GB DIMMs first,
then the 2-GB DIMMs, then the 1-GB DIMMs, and so forth).
For more information, see “Removing and Replacing DIMMs” (page 114) .
Add-On Memory
To locate the HP part number, look at the HP Security/CT Label located on the DIMM.
AD344A (2 x 2 GB DIMMs) memory with the HP part number AB565DX cannot be mixed on the
same physical rank as 2 GB memory with the AB565CX, AB565BX, or AB565AX HP part number.
IMPORTANT: Earlier versions of system firmware do not support the installation of this replacement
memory and can result in de-allocation of the entire quad or pair.
Firmware Updates
HP Integrity BL860c server blades require system firmware version 03.02 or later to support the
following Memory Add-On products:
