2-4 Installing Memory in the MEC
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage. The MEC must be
populated in the manner described in Step 2 below.
Memory Support: The S2QR6/S2QE6 supports 128MB/256MB/
512MB/ and 1 GB registered ECC DIMM memory modules. Non-ECC or
unbuffered SDRAM memory are not supported.
1. Removing the MEC (Memory Expansion Card):
You should remove the MEC whenever installing or removing DIMMs. The
MEC is attached to a retention plate with seven screws. Do not remove
these. Instead, remove only the two screws that secure the MEC
retention plate to the chassis. After removing the board, place it on an
antistatic bag before inserting the DIMMs.
2. Populating the MEC:
Important: Because memory is accessed by a four-way interleav-
ing scheme, you must install modules four at a time and in the
order shown in Figure 2-2 and described here: If four DIMMs are to
be installed, you must populate the four Bank0 slots. If eight are to be
installed, you must populate the four Bank0 and the four Bank1 slots, and
so on. All four DIMMs installed in a single bank must be the same brand,
type, size and speed.
3. Inserting DIMMs:
Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the two
notches along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM
module incorrectly. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps
into place in the slot (see Figure 2-3). If you use too much pressure
