DIMM MEMORY
Use only fully-buffered, PC2-5300F DIMMS (FB-DIMMs). Match DIMMs by size and type. With the exception
of the single-DIMM configuration, all memory should be added in like pairs. Use HP memory only.
If using only one DIMM, install in socket 1 (bottom DIMM slot when rear inputs/outputs of motherboard are
facing left). If using 2 DIMMs, install in sockets 1 & 5, matched by size and type. If using more than 2
DIMMs, pairs must be matched by size and type in sockets 1 and 3, 5 and 7, 2 and 4, and 6 and 8; this
may require moving the DIMM in socket 5 to socket 3. If using 8 DIMMs, install in all sockets.
