Important notes
• Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may
cause memory sizing error or system boot failure.
• For optimum compatibility, obtain memory modules from qualified vendors.
See Qualified Vendors List on page 1-11.
• Stacked RAM and DDR DIMM modules with more than 18 chips are not
supported.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS Latency. For optimum
compatibility, obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• Due to hardware limitation, the memory frequency decreases from 400MHz
to 333MHz when the three DIMMs are populated at the same time. Refer to
the table on 1-11 for DIMM slots setup and corresponding frequency.
