There is a single Memory Expansion Card connector on the system board that supports a Memory Expansion Card installed with either RIMM or DIMM sockets.
NOTE Do not install a memory module directly into a Memory Expansion Card
connector on the system board.
Depending on your PC Workstation, one of the following options is available:
Four RIMM sockets. Each socket hosts RDRAM ECC memory modules
installed in pairs that must contain the same parameters per channel. The first two RIMM sockets A0-B0, closest to the system board, contain the first pair of memory modules. Upgrades are then installed in RIMM sockets A1-B1.
RIMM socket A0
RIMM socket B0
RIMM socket A1
RIMM socket B1
Any unused RIMM sockets must contain a continuity module. If all sockets are used, store the continuity modules in a safe place for future upgrade possibilities. A RIMM memory module has several parameters that must be taken into consideration when upgrading memory:
ECC Type. RIMM modules exist in either ECC or non-ECC versions.
However, the HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstation supports only ECC RIMM modules.
Speed Rating. Speed ratings for RIMM modules exist between: PC600
to PC800. When upgrading memory, RIMM modules should only be installed with the same speed rating.

Which SCSI Connectors to Use
There is an internal SCSI connector on the system board that enables you to connect up to five internal SCSI devices. The last connector on the SCSI cable is connected to the onboard SCSI terminator, which in turn is connected to the external SCSI connector on the rear panel. This terminator is automatically deactivated when an external device is connected.
If all the internal SCSI connectors are used, additional devices can be added outside the PC by connecting directly to the rear panel SCSI connector. The external connector allows up to ten external devices to be connected. This gives a maximum of 15 (internal + external) devices that can be connected.
Before Installing a SCSI Hard Disk
If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an unused SCSI ID to this accessory. SCSI IDs range from 0 to 15 for
Ultrawide 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices).
21
