Memory Module Installation Guidelines
The memory module sockets are arranged in banks (1 and 2) on two channels (A and B). Unless only one 256-MB memory module is installed, the modules
must be installed in identical pairs. For example, if you are installing 512-MB of total system memory, sockets DIMM1_A and DIMM1_B (bank 1) must contain
256-MB memory modules.
the memory modules, use the following guidelines:
l
Use only DDR-400 memory modules.
l
If you are installing one 256-MB memory module, install the module in the DIMM1_A socket.
l
If you are installing 512-MB or more of total memory, install identical memory modules in a bank.
The memory module banks are identified as follows:
¡
Bank 1: DIMM1_A and DIMM1_B
¡
Bank 2: DIMM2_A and DIMM2_B
l
Unless only one 256-MB memory module is installed, bank 1 must contain two identical memory modules. However, you can configure bank 1 and bank
2 with different size memory modules.
l
Installing three memory modules is not supported.
l
Install memory modules in bank 1 (DIMM1_
x
) before installing memory modules in bank 2 (DIMM2_
