9-20 Upgrading Your Server

Installation Order

DIMMs must be populated in pairs and in the following order:

#7 and #8, #5 and #6, #3 and #4, then #1 and #2.

Install DIMMs starting from the one having smallest capacity.

IMPORTANT:

Install two additional DIMMs for each group

*1

because the server uses interleaved memory. If DIMMs of different
specifications

*2

are installed in a bank, the server does not operate

normally.

*1

A group is a unit of two DIMM slots. Each pair of DIMM slots
#1 and #2 (group #1), #3 and #4 (group #2), #5 and #6 (group
#3), and #7 and #8 (group #4) in the figure is a group. (The
symbols are also printed on the mother board.)

*2

DIMM specification is shown on the label attached to the
DIMM as follows:

Example: Frequency of 400 MHz, buffered, capacity of 512 MB,

row address of 12 bits, column address of 10 bits, and
single side

400 / B / 512 / R12 C10 S
