DIMM

Install a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) to a DIMM socket on the motherboard in the server. The
motherboard provides 12 sockets to install DIMMs.

Important



You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For details,
refer to Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).



Use only the specified DIMMs. Installing a DIMM from a third party may damage
not only the DIMM but the motherboard. You will be charged to repair failures or
damages caused by the use of such products even within the warranty period.

Tips

Up to 384 GB (32 GB x 12) in 2-CPU configuration, or up. to 192 GB (32 GB x 6) in 1-CPU
configuration can be installed on each module.
