call HP, that new server should be under support contract, no?
A ProLiant G5 is all but "new":)
ah, he said 'all new as of a few months ago'. actually, thats a 2009-ish server, with quad Tigerton/Dunnington quadcore processors (roughly equivalent to the Core2 Q series), and it came with a 3 year onsite warranty. It uses PC2-5300 fully buffered dram (ddr2-6700) so yeah, that ram is going to be expensive since its an older generation. looks to take 4x4 1/2/4/8GB sticks, in pairs, but if you have all 4 CPUs, you probably need to populate all 4 banks. oh, and there were memory expansion mezzenaine cards, so bringing it up to 32 dimms total.
I figured for laughs I'd try and find a ram layout for it, but best I've found says its printed on the lid to the CPU/memory module. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc...
I need to consider that - it might help. Anyway, that's it... and *everything* is populated. Another HBS (you know, the technical term, Honkin' Big Server... and I forget how many U's)
