Removing and Replacing a Memory Module
Your server comes with a single memory module installed in the primary
(MEM 1) slot. The memory module supports up to 384 MB of memory, a
64-bit memory interface, and 2-way interleaving. You can increase your
server’s overall performance by adding memory to the existing memory
module or by installing an additional memory module in the memory ex-
pansion (MEM 2) slot. Adding a second memory module enables your
server to support up to 768 MB of memory.
NOTE:
Due to height limitations, do not install SIMMs taller
than one inch. Installing SIMMs taller than one inch can
interfere with an adjacent CPU module or memory module.
Also, make sure you completely fill the primary memory
module (MEM 1 slot) before installing a second memory
module in the memory expansion (MEM 2 slot).
The following procedure can be used to remove and replace any memory
module.
1. Turn off your server.
2. Disconnect external devices, ac power, and monitor power.
3. Unlock and remove left side panel.
4. Remove memory module retaining bracket.
5. Carefully remove memory module from main logic board and place
it on an antistatic surface.
6. Add additional server memory onto existing memory module.
Refer to “Installing Additional Server Memory,” for more information.
7. Replace memory module and secure with retaining bracket.
