Preparing the Hardware Installation
To access some components and perform certain service
procedures, you must perform the following procedures
first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the
server. The front panel Power On/Standby button
does not completely shut off system power.
Portions of the power supply and some internal
circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
1. Unpower the FW-8895 and remove the power cord.
2. Unscrew the 2 thumbscrews from the top cover of the
FW-8895 System.
3. Slide the cover backwards and open the cover.
Installing the System Memory
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory to meet the
higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operating
system and Internet applications. It comes with Quad-
Channel DDR3 Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM)
sockets (a total of 16 DIMMs for 2 CPUs).
1. Open the DIMM slot latches.
2. Install the DIMM.
Note:
1.
The motherboards can support up to 128 GB
memory capacity in maximum (registered ECC or
unbuffered ECC).
2.
The system support dual CPU configuration. If
you have only one CPU, populate the DIMMs
close to the installed CPU socket
3.
Since the system is capable of Quad Channel
configuration, some installation guidelines have
to be followed to enable Quad Channel mode:
To insert 4 DIMMs on the system, insert DIMMS
into the 4 slots with black latches nearest to the
designated CPU socket (CPU socket No1 or No2).
And use slots with white latches if more slots are
required.
4.
To activate Dual Channel instead of Quad
Channel in the system, populate any 2 slots with
black latches nearest to the designated CPU
socket (CPU socket No1 or No2). And then use
slot with white latch that belongs to the same
channel as the populated slot with black latch for
any additional DIMMs.
5.
Starting from the board edge (same for both CPU
socket No1 and No2), one pair of black and white-
latched slots is configured as one channel.
