•

Both DIMMs in a bank must be identical (same manufacturer, CAS
latency, number of rows, columns and devices, timing parameters,
etc.). Although DIMMs within a bank must be identical, the BIOS
supports various DIMM sizes and configurations allowing the
banks of memory to be different.

Warning! For the system to function, DIMM modules must
be installed or removed in matched pairs, following the
socket sequence : DIMM 1B and 1A first, then DIMM 2B and
2A. DIMM modules of the same type, banking, stacking
technology, and manufacturer must be installed in the
Altos G530 system.

Note: Refer to “Mainboard layout” on page 14 for the location
of the DIMM sockets for each processor.

The table below lists the supported memory installation based on the
