8-6 Dell PowerEdge 6100/200 System Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
When installing SIMMs, follow these guidelines:
•
Install the SIMM with the pin 1 end aligned with the
pin 1 end of the socket (see Figure 8-5).
•
Install a SIMM in socket J1 before socket J2, socket
J2 before socket J3, and so on.
•
All SIMMs in one bank must be the same size and
speed, but SIMMs in bank 1 may differ in size from
those in bank 2.
•
SIMMs must be installed in groups of four, eight, or
16 only.
The following SIMM interleaving is supported:
•
Two-way interleaved using J1 to J4
•
Four-way interleaved, single bank using J1 to J8
•
Four-way interleaved, dual bank using J1 to J16
Table 8-1 illustrates the possible memory configurations
based on these guidelines.
