Warning:
Due to insufficient distance (limited clearance)
between memory blocks A & D and B & C, be sure to put
the release tabs of the memory slots in block D into the
upright position before you install memory modules in block
A, and vice versa. Also, be sure to put the release tabs of
the memory slots in block C into an upright position before
installing memory modules in block B, and vice versa. For
example, put the release tabs of P2-DIMMG1/G2/H1/H2 into
an upright position before installing memory modules into
Slots P1-DIMMA1/A2/B1/B2. Refer to the graphic on the right
for proper memory installation.

Note
: Check Supermicro's Website for recommended memory modules.
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage.
Installing DIMM Modules
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
P1-DIMMA1. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot
to unlock it. (Refer to the following pages for memory support and memory
population configuration.)
2. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory
slot.
3. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points on
the ends of the slot.
4. Use two thumbs together to press the notches on both ends of the module
straight down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
5. Press the release tabs to the locking positions to secure the DIMM module
into the slot.
