Removing, Replacing And Upgrading Memory
Your HP Workstation x2100 has two pairs of memory sockets for installing two or four
RAMBUS Direct RAM (RDRAM) memory modules.
Each pair of memory sockets must contain identical memory modules (identical in size,
speed and type). That is, sockets A1 and B1 must contain identical modules, and sockets
A2 and B2 must contain identical modules (or continuity modules).
Figure 6-5 Memory Sockets
If only two RDRAM modules are installed, use the sockets marked A1 and B1. The other
two sockets (A2 and B2) must contain continuity modules.
Use only HP memory modules designed for your workstation model. For other
accessories for your workstation, refer to
www.hp.com/workstations/products/winnt/accessories.html.
Removing And Replacing A Memory Module
1. Switch off the display and workstation. Disconnect all power cables and any LAN or
telecommunications cables.
2. Remove the workstation’s cover (refer to page 119 for instructions).
To ease installation, place the workstation on its side with the system board facing
upwards.
