HP 3000/9x9KS and HP 9000/K2x0/K4x0/Kx70/Kx80 Memory Upgrade Installation
Installation Procedure (HP 3000/9x9KS and HP 9000/K2x0/K4x0/Kx70/Kx80)
Procedure for Dual Memory Extenders — Detailed
Step 1. You must remove any modules from each memory extender.
If you have only one pair of memory modules in your system, and that pair has been
split across the two memory extenders, you will get a "Memory not optimized" warning
when you boot your system. Remove the module from one extender and add it to the
module on the other extender (see Step 5 below).
Step 2. Combine the removed and new memory modules and organize them into four groups:
•
512MB modules
•
256MB modules
•
128MB and 64MB modules (combined in the same group)
•
32MB modules.
Step 3. From each memory group, create as many pairs of modules (sets of 2 modules, or 4 SIMMs)
as possible. A 128MB and 64MB module can be used as a pair of modules since they are from
the same group. Set aside any remaining modules of each size for installation last.
Remember, each module consists of 2 same-size SIMMs. Any remaining single SIMMs are
"unusable."
Step 4. Locate and identify each available slot by its slot number and letter (e.g., 0a, 0b) on each
memory extender. Identify the sequence of slots from lowest to highest
Step 5. Install any pairs of modules first as follows:
A. Install modules in decreasing size: start with the largest memory size and end with the smallest.
Within a mixed-group of 128MB and 64MB modules, install the 128MB modules first.
B. Install pairs of modules beginning with the lowest available slot number on the extender with the
most slots open.
If both extenders are empty, the first pair of module would go in slots 0a/0b and 1a/1b on the first
extender; the second pair of modules would go in slots 0a/0b and 1a/1b on the second extender; the
next pair of modules would go in slots 2a/2b and 3a/3b on the first extender, and so on.
Install all pairs of modules before installing modules.
Step 6. Install any remaining modules, beginning with the largest memory size, filling in the lowest
available slot numbers on the extender with the most slots available.
