3-5 Installing Memory Modules
Check the Supermicro Web site for recommended memory modules.
Caution: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to
prevent any possible damage.
Preparation
1. Begin by removing power from the system as described on page 3-1.
2. Press down the release tabs on the ends of a memory slot. Insert each DIMM
module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of
the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.
3. Using both thumbs, gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into
place in the slot. Repeat for all modules.
4. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with P1
DIMMA2. For best performance, please use the memory modules of the same
type and speed in the same bank. See the DIMM Installation Chart on the
following page.
5. Reverse the steps above to remove the DIMMs from the motherboard.
To Install: Insert module
vertically and press
down until it snaps into
place. Pay attention to
the alignment notch at
the bottom.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs to
gently push the release
tabs near both ends of
the module. This should
release it from the slot.
