DIMM ‐ socket slot(s) farthest from the CPU. Only one channel with up to two slots is

slots in the same channel on a PC have the same color.
6. For the Slot 1 Interposer, connect the ribbon cable to Slot 1 and the power cable to
Interposer Power , both on the front of the protocol analyzer.
For the Slot 2 Interposer, connect the ribbon cable to Slot 2 on the front of the
protocol analyzer.

the Analyzer to the hard drive on your host machine as a file named data.ddrt (or
the name you assigned as the default filename). While the file is being uploaded,
you should see a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When the bar
disappears, it indicates that the data has been uploaded to disk.
15. To save a current recording for future reference, select File > Save As , or click
on the Tool Bar, to display the standard Save As screen. Give the recording a unique
name and save it to the appropriate directory.
