Cautions for installing a memory module
For this server, the maximum installable memory varies depending on the OS. Furthermore, since the
server uses part of the memory as PCI resources, the maximum available capacity is limited.
The following shows the maximum installable memory capacity and the maximum available capacity.
*1: When installing memory bigger than 3GB, the Physical Address Extension (PAE) must be set in the OS.
Setting PAE in the OS makes the installed memory capacity the available memory capacity. For the
procedure for setting PAE in the OS, refer to the Microsoft website. Also, when the Data Execution
Prevention (DEP) function of the CPU is enabled, PAE in the OS is automatically enabled. However, it is
recommended to set the PAE in the OS to enable it without problems.
To enable the DEP function of the CPU, start the BIOS Setup Utility, and set [NX Memory Protection] to
[Enabled] in the "7.2.8 Advanced System Configuration Submenu" (
p.194) in the [Advanced] menu.
LAN cable
Be sure to connect the LAN cable when the server is not connected to the Internet.
Connecting to the Internet during setup can cause security problems. Do not connect to the Internet
until the setup completes.
If the OS is installed or applications are automatically installed without connecting the LAN cable to the
LAN card, an error may be recorded in the event viewer after setup completes.
When installing Windows Server 2003
Connect the LAN cable after Service Pack 2 is applied in the following situations:
• When installing Intel
®
PROSet
When an optional LAN card is installed and OS is installed by using ServerStart, Intel
®
PROSet is
automatically installed.
• When a 10Mbps half-duplex connection is used
