Working with memory

Your xSeries 330 supports 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB 133 MHz, ECC, SDRAM, 
registered x4 (Chipkill) DIMMs. 

Note:

Chipkill Memory protection is disabled if any DIMM in your server is not an x4 
DIMM. 

See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of memory 
modules for use with your server.

About MXT memory

The IBM MXT technology on your server expands the capacity of the DIMMs installed 
in your server. Depending on the applications running and the load on the system, 
MXT can expand your server usable memory up to nearly twice the amount of 
physical memory.

Important:

 To activate the MXT technology on your server:

An MXT device driver supporting your operating system might be required. The 
IBM MXT device driver for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 is available on the 
ServerGuide CD. The Red Hat Linux® 7.2 operating system includes MXT 
support natively, and does not need a separate device driver. 

The 

MXT Aware OS

 setting must be 

Enabled

 (the default value) and the 

Report 

Real

 setting must be 

Disabled

 (the default value) in 

Core Chipset Control

 in the 

Advanced Setup

 section of the Configuration/Setup utility program.

How you determine whether MXT is activated depends on your operating system. In 
Windows 2000, for example, you can look at the memory information in the Task 
Manager: under 

Physical memory

 on the Performance page, if the amount of 

memory in 

Total

 is greater than the amount of physical memory you have installed in 

your server, then MXT is activated. 

The MXT device driver for Windows 2000 is located in the self-extracting file 
\images\en\setupmxt.exe on the ServerGuide 

Setup and Installation

 CD. Use the 

ServerGuide CDs to install the MXT device driver (see “Using the ServerGuide CDs” 
on page 27 f
or more information), or download and install the latest MXT driver from 
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web.
