Caution: We DO NOT recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However,
if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent
damage to the CPU or the CPU socket.

in the illustration below.
2. Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive
force when wriggling the heatsink!)
3. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove the heatsink from the CPU socket.

5-5 Installing Memory
Installing Memory
1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module
incorrectly (see Figure 5-2).
2. Install starting with slot P1-DIMMA1.
3. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
4. With two CPUs installed, repeat step 2 to populate the CPU2 DIMM slots.
5. See the tables that follow for details on populating the DIMM slots.
Note: It is highly recommended that you remove the power cord from the
system before installing or changing memory modules. Please refer to our web
site for memory that has been tested on the X10DRT-PS serverboard. For best
performance, use memory modules of the same type and speed in the same bank.
Memory Support
The X10DRT-PS has sixteen DIMM slots supporting up to 2 TB of LRDIMM (Load
Reduced DIMM) or 1 TB of RDIMM (Registered DIMM) DDR4-2400/2133/1866 MHz
registered ECC memory.
Note: Check the Supermicro website (www.supermicro.com) for the latest memory
support information.
