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. Also note that the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (See Figure 5-5)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
slot 0. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two
modules at a time beginning with Bank 1 (then Bank 2, then Bank 3).
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Note the notch at the
bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly.
