Replacing or adding memory
The Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs) supported by your system board conform to the
following standards:
■
64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB ECC DIMMs
■
PC100-compliant, registered, parity, ECC SDRAM
■
16 GB maximum system memory
Memory is installed on a memory module card in four banks. Each bank has
four slots: Bank 1 (A1-A4), Bank 2 (B1-B4), Bank 3 (C1-C4) and Bank 4 (D1-D4).
When you are selecting and installing DIMMs, keep the following in mind:
■
Memory must be installed by bank (in groups of four) in order, beginning
with Bank 1 (A1-A4). All four DIMMs in a bank must be identical.
■
Only registered DIMMs should used.
■
No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because the
BIOS automatically detects this information.
■
