IBM xSeries 230 6RY, Hardware Maintenance Manual

Page: 70 / 194

Your server comes with a DIMM installed on the system board in connector J23.
Notes:
1.
Install additional DIMMs in connectors J21, J19, and J18, in that order. (See the
following illustration for memory connector locations.)
2. Your xSeries 230 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs.
Your server supports a minimum of 128 MB and a maximum of 4 GB of system
memory.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the
memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility
program and select Save Settings. See “Configuring the server” on page 31 for
more information.
