2 Lower the bracket into the system until the two tabs on the top edge of the

bracket fit into the slots in the system back panel.

3 Replace the memory cooling shroud.

NOTICE:

Never operate your system with the memory cooling shroud removed.

Overheating of the system can develop quickly resulting in a shutdown of the
system and the loss of data.

4 Replace the fans into the fan bracket.
5 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 68.
6 Replace the front bezel, if removed.
7 Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet and turn on the system and

attached peripherals.

Memory

You can upgrade your system memory to a maximum of 48 GB by installing
533MHz or, when available, 667MHz fully buffered DIMMs (FBDs) in dual
sets of 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB. The memory sockets are
located on the system board beneath the cooling shroud. See Figure 6-2.

NOTICE:

If you remove your original memory modules from the system during a

memory upgrade, keep them separate from any new memory modules that you may
have. Use only 533 MHz or, when available, 667 MHz FBDs.

The memory module sockets are arranged on the system board in two equal
branches (0 and 1). See Figure 3-21. Each branch consists of two channels:

Channel 0 and channel 1 are in branch 0.

Channel 2 and channel 3 are in branch 1.

Each channel consists of three DIMM sockets:

Channel 0 contains DIMM_1, DIMM_5, and DIMM_9.

Channel 1 contains DIMM _2, DIMM_6, and DIMM_10.

Channel 2 contains DIMM_3, DIMM_7, and DIMM_11.

Channel 3 contains DIMM _4, DIMM _8, and DIMM_12.

The first DIMM socket of each channel has white release tabs.
