We wanted to upgrade to 3 8GB quads.
I took the cover off our RP4440 and the memory slots are fairly accessible and swap out seems straight forward.
Are there any configuration changes? Or is it similiar to most other hardware where you pop the new memory in and assuming it's compatible everything comes up sensing the new memory.
I've never swapped memory on an RP4440 and was curious of what to expect.
If it is too crazy, may get HP in to do it.. Any feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYou are correct. It's pretty straight forward to upgrade memory. Just remember to install in order, (Oa, 0b, 0c, 0d, 1a, 1b, etc.)
HP-UX will see more memory and away you go. You should review your swap space once it's booted up, and adjust as necessary.
Good luck!!

Re: Memory Upgrade on a RP4440 - 8
I wasn't sure if I had to go into SAM and do anything crazy at an MP prompt.
Thanks again, I tried to give you 10 points. I go back and make sure.
Great answer!

Whether the firmware actually checks/cares I cannot recall.

Re: Memory Upgrade on a RP4440 - 8
Full system backup, ignite tape. Shut down system with halt.
Removed front cover and then metal plate to get physical access to memory which took less than a minute.
We then removed all old memory and blank inserts - then inserted 4 8 GB DDR Memory Quads. Part number was A7131A (of which we purchased 4).
Booted system backup with a cold restart, done!
Thanks!
Hans
