Memory 35
Adding memory
The DRAM DIMMs supported by the server board conform to the following
standards:
■ 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB ECC DIMMs
■ PC/100-compliant, unbuffered, ECC SDRAM
■ 128 MB minimum system memory
■ 2.0 GB maximum system memory
When you select and install DIMMs, keep the following in mind:
■ Registered DIMMs should not be combined with unbuffered DIMMs
■ Memory should be added in order, from DIMM 1 to DIMM 4.
■ There can be no empty slots between installed DIMMs.
■ No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because the
BIOS automatically detects this information.
To add DIMMs:
1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all other external
peripheral devices.
2 Open the case. (See “Opening the case” on page 18 and “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 17.)
3 Pull open the socket clamps on each side of the DIMM socket.
4 Insert the new DIMM into the socket, aligning the two notches in the
DIMM with the two notches in the DIMM socket.
