5-6  Installing Memory

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent 
possible damage.

Installing Memory

1.  Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the 

notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module 
incorrectly (see Figure 5-3).

2.  Install to slots CPU1/DIMM1A, CPU1/DIMM2A, etc. Always install in groups 

of two and in the numerical order of the DIMM slots. See support information 
below.

3.  Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
4.  With two DIMMs installed, repeat step 2 to populate the CPU2 DIMM 

slots. Always install two DIMMs to both

 CPU DIMM slots for more efficient 

operation.

Note:

 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB size memory modules are 

supported. It is highly recommended that you remove the power from the system 
before installing or changing memory modules. Please refer to our web site for 
memory that has been tested on the H8DCT-F/IBQF serverboard.

Memory Support

The H8DCT-F/IBQF serverboard supports three-DIMM per channel, 
DDR3-1600/1333/1066 Mhz speed registered ECC/Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC 
SDRAM. 
Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and 
type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved 
(64-bit) memory.

Maximum Memory

The H8DCT-F/IBQF serverboard supports up to 64 GB of ECC/Non-ECC UDIMM 
or up to 192 GB of ECC RDIMM SDRAM in twelve (12) DIMM slots.
