HP StoreVirtual P4000 G2
Memory Module Installation
Instructions

Abstract

This document describes how to install the HP StoreVirtual
P4000 G2 Memory Module for HP P4000 G2 storage
systems.

Overview

Follow the procedures for your environment (upgrading
one or multiple storage systems):

• Upgrading a single storage system—Continue

with “Installing the memory module” (page 1).

• Upgrading multiple storage systems in a

management group—To save restripes of volume
data, HP recommends shutting down the
management group, which puts it into
maintenance mode. Then you can upgrade
multiple storage systems and safely restart all the
storage systems to bring the management group
back online. See “Safely shutting down a

management group” (page 3) and then follow

the steps in “Installing the memory module”

(page 1).

Installing the memory module

1. Have the following items ready:

• Memory module

Alternatively, you can power down the system by

quickly pressing and releasing the storage system
power button two times.

3. Extend the storage system from the rack:
a. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power

cords.
b. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews.
c. Extend the storage system on the rack rails

until the storage system rail-release latches

engage.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of

personal injury or equipment damage,
be sure that the rack is adequately
stabilized before extending a
component from the rack.

4. Remove the storage system from the rack and
place it on a sturdy, level surface.

5. Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface,
and properly grounded (earthed) tools and

to ensure proper installation. If you insert
a DIMM but it does not fit easily into the
