BIOS errors and warnings
The BIOS generates warnings/errors on invalid memory configurations:
●
If the BIOS can find a valid memory configuration by disabling plugged-in memory, it does so
and reports a warning during POST. the workstation can still be started. The warning will
indicate the location of the failed DIMM on the system board.
●
If there is no way for the BIOS to obtain a valid memory configuration by disabling plugged-in
memory, the BIOS halts with a diagnostics 2006 code for memory error (five beeps and blinks).
DIMM installation guidelines
●
Install only HP-approved DDR3 DIMMs
CAUTION: HP ships only DIMMs that are electrically and thermally compatible with this
workstation. Because third-party DIMMs might not be electrically or thermally compatible, they
are not supported by HP.
●
Install only HP-approved DDR3 DIMMs. See
http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to find DIMMs
that are compatible with the workstation.
●
Do not intermix DIMMs of different technologies. ECC Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs), Registered
DIMMs (RDIMMs), and Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) are supported on your workstations.
Supported DIMM configurations on page 66 specifies which technologies are supported on each
platform.
CAUTION: DIMMs and their sockets are keyed for proper installation. To prevent socket or DIMM
damage, align these guides properly when installing DIMMs.
