Memory Modules
Technical Information and Important Guidelines
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to equipment or loss of information, make sure
that the server is powered down, all cables are disconnected from the back of
the server, and the power cord is disconnected from the grounded (earthed)
AC outlet before removing the access panel.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the system when handling components, see
Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge.”
CAUTION:
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the
contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
When installing DIMMs, you must follow these guidelines:
■
DIMMs must be industry-standard 168-pin PC 133-MHz or faster
Registered SDRAM DIMMs. The SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS
Latency 2 or 3 (CL=2 or CL=3). They must also contain the mandatory
Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence
Detect (SPD) information.
■
Do not mix ECC and non-ECC SDRAM DIMMs. If different types of
DIMMs are mixed, the system does not properly function.
■
A DIMM can be installed only one way. Be sure to match the two
key slots
on the DIMM with the tab on the DIMM socket. Push the
DIMM down into the DIMM socket, ensuring that it is fully inserted and
properly seated.
