44 Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the stake pins on the board.
Memory
The SHG2 Server Board contains six 184-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as three
banks. DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs.
The SHG2 server board supports up to six 2.5 V, ECC, DDR 200 or 266-compliant, registered
SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 128 MB,
256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. The minimum supported memory configuration is
256 MB, using two identical 128 MB DIMMs. The maximum configurable memory size is 12 GB
using six 2 GB DIMMs.
The SDRAM interface runs at 200 MHz; however 266 MHz memory can be used. The memory
controller supports 2-way interleaved SDRAM, memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction and
multiple-bit error detection with Chipkill capability that allows the system to continue to run even
in the event of a multi-bit SDRAM failure. Memory can be implemented with either single-sided
(one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs.

NOTE
Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board.
