5-5 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules
to prevent any possible damage.
Installing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slots
DIMM1A. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to pre-
vent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly. See Figure 5-5.
2. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat fstep 1 to install to DIMM1B if needed.
Memory Support
The X8SIU-F supports up to 16 GB of ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 UDIMMs or up
to 32 GB of ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 RDIMMs in six DIMM slots. Populating
these DIMM modules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same
size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.
Please refer to the table below.
Notes
1. Due to OS limitations, some operating systems may not show more than 4
GB of memory.
2. Both ECC and non-ECC memory can be installed.
3. Only x8 DRAM works on a
Platform DIMM Type Intel® Xeon® Series Processors
X8SIU-F Non-ECC UDIMM Only Not Supported
ECC UDIMM Only Supported (see Table 1)
RDIMM Only (with ECC) Supported (see Table 2)
Mixed ECC with non-ECC Not Supported
Mixed UDIMM/RDIMM Not Supported
