Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation
Installing DIMM Modules on the X11OPi-CPU Board
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.
Check Supermicro's website for recommended memory modules.
1. Install the desired number of DIMM modules on the CPU board; each board supports up
to 12 DIMMs. When installing memory, be sure to always populate the blue slots first,
starting with DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1, DIMME1, and DIMMF1. For best
performance, please use the memory modules of the same type and same speed in the
same bank. For DIMM module locations, please refer to the layout below.

with the receptive points on the ends of the
slot. Use two thumbs together to press module

snaps into place.
5. Press the release tabs to the lock positions to
lock the DIMM module into the slot.
Note:
Press the memory straight down into the slot
until it is properly seated.
