Memory upgrade

[Jeffrey F. Goldsmith]

I have an rp3440-4 server with HP-UX 11.23. Currently we have 4GB RAM (2 sets of A9773A HP srvr rp34x0 2GB DDR mem quad) and we are planning on upgrading the RAM on the server this weekend. I purchased 8GB RAM (1 set of A9775A HP srvr rp34x0 8GB DDR mem quad) from a third party company.

My question is this, when I install the new RAM chips can I leave the other set of the 2GB RAM chips or do I need to remove both sets of the 2GB RAM kits.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

hi,

the system has 12 slots and supports upto 32gb in total, using 2x 16gb kits.

so as you will have 4 slots free you can just populate the remaining ones.
