has a stripe size of 8K.
Memory notes
The following sections contain information on adding memory.
Adding more engine memory to increase performance
You can enhance the performance of the Model 326 in an NFS environment by
adding more RAM to its processor. To do this:
1. Purchase two 512M memory DIMMs for each of the two engines as a field
upgrade by ordering 5187-5RZ Feature Code 0007 from your IBM
representative.
2. Follow the instructions in Chapter 3, section “Replacing memory modules,” of
the Installation Guide .
3. Before rebooting the appliance, attach a keyboard and display directly to the
rear connectors of the product. During the first IPL, you will have to read and
answer questions about the additional memory you have installed.
Using the Recovery CD-ROM if you have added more processor
memory
If you have installed more processor memory, and later use the Recovery CD-ROM
(see “Chapter 9. Using the Recovery and Supplementary CDs” on page 123), you
will have to attach a keyboard and display and answer questions about the
additional memory that you have installed.
