Chapter 6 Installing or Replacing Server Components 75
If you need to remove the server from the rack, press the release latches on each side
of the server’s interior, then carefully slide it forward and lift it out of the cover.
7 When you’ve completed your work inside the server, carefully slide it closed and
tighten the front thumbscrews to secure it in the rack.
Adding Memory
The server has eight memory slots (in two banks of four each), at least two of which are
filled at the factory. You can install additional dynamic random-access memory (DRAM)
in packages called Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) in the eight DRAM DIMM slots
on the server’s main logic board. DIMMs must be installed in pairs. You can expand
your computer’s DRAM to a maximum of 8 gigabytes (GB). To check the amount of
DRAM installed, use Apple System Profiler (in Applications/Utilities).
DIMMs must fit these specifications:
• PC3200 error-correcting (ECC), double-data-rate (DDR) Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM),
also known as DDR-400
• 2.5 volt (V)
• 64-bit wide, 184-pin module
• 18 memory devices maximum
• Unbuffered (not registered or buffered)
• Maximum height of 1.25 inches
Important: DIMMs from older Macintosh computers are not compatible with your
server. Do not use older DIMMs even if they fit into the DIMM slots.
Press these two
latches to release
the server from
the cover.
