Removing, Replacing And Upgrading Memory

Your HP Workstation x2100 has two pairs of memory sockets for installing two or four
RAMBUS Direct RAM (RDRAM) memory modules.

Each pair of memory sockets must contain identical memory modules (identical in size,
speed and type). That is, sockets

A1

and

B1

must contain identical modules, and sockets

A2

and

B2

must contain identical modules (or continuity modules).

Figure 6-5

Memory Sockets

If only two RDRAM modules are installed, use the sockets marked

A1

and

B1

. The other

two sockets (

A2

and

B2

) must contain continuity modules.

Use only HP memory modules designed for your workstation model. For other
accessories for your workstation, refer to

www.hp.com/workstations/products/winnt/accessories.html.

Removing And Replacing A Memory Module

1. Switch off the display and workstation. Disconnect all power cables and any LAN or

telecommunications cables.

2. Remove the workstation’s cover (refer to page 119 for instructions).

To ease installation, place the workstation on its side with the system board facing
upwards.
