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
Bank 1 (DIMM#1A, DIMM#1B). The memory scheme is interleaved so
you must install two modules at a time, beginning with Bank 1, then
Bank 2, and Bank3 last.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
notches 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 P4DMS-6GM can support up to 12 GB of ECC registered PC1600 (200
MHz DDR-RAM) memory. PC2100 DDR-RAM is also supported but only at
200 MHz (PC1600 speed). PC100/133 SDRAM is not supported.
See Figures 5-4a and 5-4b for installing and removing memory modules.
