Installing and Removing Components
AlphaServer 1000A Rackmount Owner’s Guide 5-5
Remember these rules when you install memory modules:
•
Bank 0 must contain a memory option.
•
A memory option consists of five memory modules. When you install a memory
option in a memory bank, you must install a memory module in all of the connectors
in that bank.
•
All memory modules within a bank must be of the same capacity.
•
Larger SIMM groups must occupy the lower-numbered banks.
The system unit supports five sizes of memory options: 16-, 32-, 64-, 128- and 256-
megabytes. Using combinations of these five memory options, the system supports
between 16 MB and 1 GB of memory.
