Antistatic wrist strap and mat
■
Sun Blade server module
■
Memory kit
Follow these steps to add memory modules to a server module.
1. Locate and unpack the server module from its antistatic packaging.
Caution –
Do not use the ejector latches to carry the server module. The ejector
latches should only be used to seat the server module in the chassis. They are not
designed to support the weight of the server module.
2. Remove the server module cover by performing the following steps:

Memory Module Configuration Rules
X8400
• Each X8400 CPU supports up to 4 DIMMs
• All X8400 DIMMs must be populated in pairs, for example:
•DIMM pair 0 = DIMM slots 0 and 1. These DIMM slots are the
farthest slots from the respective CPU.
•DIMM pair 1 = DIMM slots 2 and 3. These DIMM slots are the
nearest slots to the respective CPU.
• If the CPU has only a single DIMM pair, then you must install that
single DIMM pair into the
farthest
slot locations from the respective
CPU, which are slots 0 and 1.
