CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage.
5-6 Installing Memory
Unplug the power cord from the power
supply.
Disconnect the heat sink fan wires from
the CPU fan header.
Use your fi nger tips to gently press on
the fastener cap and turn it counter-
clockwise to make a 1/4 (90
0
) turn, then
pull the fastener upward to loosen it.
Repeat step 3 to loosen all fasteners
from the mounting holes, then remove
the heat sink from the CPU.

Removing the Heat Sink
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
DIMM Installation
Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM1A. For an interleaved memory scheme, install two modules at a time
beginning with DIMM1A and DIMM1B (the blue slots) then DIMM2A and
DIMM2B
Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly
(see Figure 5-3).
Gently press down on the module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat
for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
The C2SBX supports up to 8 GB of unbuffered non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800
in 4 slots. Populating DIMM A and DIMM 1B and DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B with
memory modules of the same size and type will result in dual channel interleaved
memory, which is faster than the single channel non-interleaved memory.
