2-3 Installing DIMMs
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 2-2)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMM
#1A. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at
a time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #1B, and so on.
2. 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. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
The X6DA3-G2/X6DAi-G2 supports up 16GB to dual channel ECC Registered
DDR II 400 SDRAM. This motherboard supports Interleaved memory. Populating
DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or DIMM#2A, DIMM#2B with a pair (or pairs) of memory
modules that are of the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel,
two-way interleaved memory.
Notes: 1. Single rank memory is recommended for confi gurations with 6 or more
modules. 2. Due to OS limitations, some operating systems may not support more
than 4 GB of memory.
To Install: Insert module vertically and press down until it
snaps into place. Pay attention to the alignment notch at
the bottom.
