  • Handling memory errors in response to adding new memory to a system
    Patent number: 7447943
    Abstract: A system includes a mechanism to detect addition of a memory module. In response to the addition of the memory module, a memory test is run to test the new memory module for a defect. If an uncorrectable error is detected, a routine is activated to process the error. Depending on whether the defect occurred in the new memory module or existing memory module(s), different processing is performed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 4, 2008
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Paul H. Vu, Darrell R. Haskell, Robert A. Lester, Timoth W. Majni
  • Generating notification that a new memory module has been added to a second memory slot in response to replacement of a memory module in a first memory slot
    Patent number: 6996648
    Abstract: A system includes memory slots to receive memory modules. In response to detecting replacement of a first memory module with a second memory module in a first memory slot, a notification is generated to indicate that a new memory module has been added to a second memory slot that is different from the first memory slot.

  • Upgrading a memory subsystem
    Publication number: 20040243731
    Abstract: A system includes memory slots to receive memory modules. In response to detecting replacement of a first memory module with a second memory module in a first memory slot, a notification is generated to indicate that a new memory module has been added to a second memory slot that is different from the first memory slot.
