memory module compatibility question (L2000 vs N4000)

[B. Chapman]

Hello all...

Can I yank DIMM's from my N4000 and install them in my L2000?

As always, thanks in advance!

Yes, weve done it lots of times and our servers are still running without memory errors!

Just be sure you seat them properly, you may need a couple of goes doing it, we do occasionally. Sometimes they may crash with a memory error shortly after swapping so another reseat always fixes it.

Yes, It's compatible. I have done that couple of times.

[Vicente Sanchez_3]

Yes, It's possible.

Even though HP partsurfer will give different part number for these ..
1- N4000 (512MB modules kit - A3763A)
2- L2000 (512MB modules kit - A5797A)
.. liek others have mentioned you can swap these. Make sure you know the memory seating rules and to optimize the performance it's best that the memory modules are of the same size.

Both L-class & N-class use SyncDRAM with ECC memory.However,I'd double check full compatibility issue with HP support (sizes,configuration options etc) for better performance.
