Working with Memory-Module Kits
Working with Memory-Module Kits
Adding system memory to your server is an easy way to make
programs run faster. You can increase the amount of system
memory by installing options called memory-module kits, or by
installing memory-module kits with larger capacity memory. The
kit consists of one industry-standard, 168-pin, 60 ns, buffered
extended data output (EDO), Error Correcting Code (ECC), dual
inline memory module (DIMM). The server uses a noninterleaved
memory configuration, with Error Correcting Code (ECC) data
protection.
When you are instructed to install the kits (in step 5 on page 72),
install them in adjacent connectors, with no vacant memory
connectors in between. Your server comes with one
memory-module kit installed in connector J2, the connector closest
to the edge of the processor board. Install additional
memory-module kits in connector J3, and then continue with
connectors J4 and J5, in that order.
Notes:
1. Install only buffered EDO, ECC DIMMs.
2. If you are installing DIMMs of different sizes, install DIMMs
with greater memory capacity starting with the connector closest
to the edge of the processor board (J2).
3. After installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program. See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Main
Menu” on page 22.
4. The server supports 60 ns, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB
memory-module kits.
