Chapter 3

Installing and Configuring

￿￿Supported memory capacity ranges from 128 MB to 1.5 GB maximum (512 MB x 3 DIMM slots total). The minimum capacity is 128 MB (one DIMM).

￿￿DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (1 through 3).

However, HP recommends starting at slot 1 and filling the slots in order with the largest size first: 1, 2, and 3.

￿￿Open slots between DIMMs are permitted.

￿￿When handling DIMMs, observe anti-static precautions to avoid damage.

Installing Additional DIMMs

1.If the system is already installed and working, power off the system. Refer to Chapter 1, “Controls and Indicators.”

2.Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the system. If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.

3.Remove the side cover and lay it aside.

Refer to “Opening and Closing the HP Server” earlier in this chapter.

WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the Server tc2110 until the power cable is disconnected.

4. Lay the Server on its side (components showing) for the best access to the DIMM slots.

CAUTION The memory modules (DIMMs) are sensitive to static electricity and can be easily damaged by improper handling. Do the following when handling the accessory kit:

Leave the memory module in the anti-static container until you are ready to install it.

Always use an anti-static wrist strap and a grounding mat.

Before you remove a memory module from the anti-static container, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP Server to discharge static electricity.

5.Locate the DIMM slots and select a DIMM slot for installation. See Figure 3-12.

DIMMs may be installed in any combination, in any slot, but HP recommends starting at slot 1 and filling the slots in order with the largest size first in slots, 1, 2, and 3.
