Re: HP rp5430 Memory Installation Instruction
full details for the memory guidelines can be found here
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/A5191-96022/ch01s03.html
full manual in pdf format is here
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/A5191-96022/A5191-96022.pdf
once the memory is installed then you can verify it is seen correctly at PDC
power on server and stop it from booting at BCH. then issue this command at the MA> prompt
MA> in me
if its seen correctly, then fully boot the system

Re: HP rp5430 Memory Installation Instruction
Thx for ur fast response..
For memory configuration rules, the rp5430 is similiar with rp5450 or similiar with rp5470..?
Because from the link, that u sent to me. I can not find rp5430, just rp54xx,rp5450,rp5470..
So,for example when I want to install 2 dimm memory (2 x 512MB), I should plug the memory into dimm 0a and 0b. Am I correct..?
Many thanks

Re: HP rp5430 Memory Installation Instruction
So if My new DIMM memory pairs have the bigger size than existing DIMM memory pairs, I have to unplug the existing memory from the first slot for replaced with New memory that has bigger size, because the biggest size have to plug first. Am I correct..?
In rp5430, There are two Memory Carrier right..? If I'm using only (2x512MB) memory, So I've to plug the memory on slot 0a & ob, both of slots reside in Memory Carrier 0..?
Can you give me the detail picture of memory slots location on rp5430/rp5470..? Is it different configuration with rp54xx/rp5450..?
Need ur help..
Thanks

Re: HP rp5430 Memory Installation Instruction
Yes, you will have to move the memory around to get the optimal placement if the new memory is larger than the existing memory.
The rp5430 can have 1 or 2 memory carriers, it would just depend on how it was configured.
If you have just 2x512 now, then you will have only 1 memory carrier. If you are adding 2x1024 DIMMs, then you would move the existing 512MB DIMMs to slots 1a & 1b, and install the 1024MB DIMMs in slots 0a & 0b.
I can't find a picture of the memory slots on the rp5430/70, but it's quite simple, and all the slots are labeled clearly. Inside the server you will see the memory carrier. You'll just pull up on the two black levers on each side of the carrier. Once you have it removed, there are 4 screws that need to be loosened, which are holding the metal cage over the DIMMs in place. Once the cage is removed, it's just a matter of installing the DIMMs, which is done like nearly any server or PC.

Re: HP rp5430 Memory Installation Instruction
The memory loading guidelines say that you must balance the memory between the carriers, so you must install in this order:
Carrier 0, slot 0a/b
Carrier 1, slot 0a/b
Carrier 0, slot 1a/b
Carrier 1, slot 1a/b
Carrier 0, slot 2a/b
Carrier 1, slot 2a/b
Carrier 0, slot 3a/b
Carrier 1, slot 3a/b

Re: HP rp5430 Memory Installation Instruction
the RP5430 only supports upto 8gb ram.
I seem to remember that you can only have one memory carrier installed in that server, supported.
will try and think?
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00352566тМй=en&cc=us&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=2512032&prodTypeId=15351
but normally you would install the memory across both memory extender/carriers evenly.
so this would be carrier 0 slots 0A/B then carrier 1 slots 0A/B then carrier 0 and 1A/B and carrier 1 1A/B and so on.
Installing the largest pairs first
If when you open it up you have only one carrier/extender then you can just fill this one up. largest pairs first
Do you know the current config?
you could get this info and how many memory carriers and extenders are installed in the system from STM in hpux
