4.Press the module into the socket while pushing the latches inward until the latches snap into place Ž.

5.Replace the server cover.

6.Push the server into the rack, secure with thumbscrews and reconnect cables.

7.Power on server and use the System Configuration Utility to reconfigure your system.

Adding Memory to the ProLiant 1850R Server

You can expand server memory by installing Compaq DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules). The system supports up to four Registered SDRAM DIMMs installed in slots on the System Board. Memory can be added one module at a time.

You must observe the following guidelines when installing additional memory:

DIMMs installed in the ProLiant 1850R server must be 100-MHz registered SDRAM, 3.3-volts, 72-bits wide, and ECC.

All DIMMs installed must be of the same speed, for example, all 100-MHz.

The server is shipped with at least one DIMM in DIMM socket 1

￿(system board connector J12).

DIMMs should be installed in sequential order starting with DIMM socket 1.
