Installing System Components

System Memory

Your system supports DDR3 ECC unbuffered memory modules (UDIMMs).

The DIMMs can be 1066 or 1333 MHz. Single and dual-rank DIMMs can be

1066 or 1333 MHz.
The system contains four memory sockets, each two-socket set is organized

into two channels. The first socket of each channel is marked with white

release levers.

General Memory Module Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general

guidelines when configuring your system memory.

NOTE:

Memory configurations that fail to observe these guidelines can prevent

your system from starting or producing any video output.

• Except for memory channels that are unused, all populated memory

channels must have identical configurations.

• Memory modules are installed in the numeric order of the sockets

beginning with DIMM_A1 or DIMM_B1.

• One or two DIMMs per channel can support up to 1333 MHz.
• If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the

speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).

Mode-Specific Guidelines

Your system supports both single-channel and dual-channel mode. A minimal

single-channel configuration of one 1 GB memory module is also supported

in this mode.
Table 3-2 shows sample memory configurations that follow the appropriate

memory guidelines stated in this section. The samples show identical

memory-module configurations and their the physical and available memory

totals. The table does not show mixed memory-module configurations, nor

do they address the memory speed considerations of any configuration.
