Memory Modules
Technical Information and Important Guidelines
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to equipment or loss of information, be sure that the
server is powered down, all cables are disconnected from the back of the server, and
the power cord is disconnected from the grounded (earthed) AC outlet before
removing the access panel.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the system when handling components, see
Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge.”
CAUTION:
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the
contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
When installing DIMMs, you must follow these guidelines:
DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin PC2100 DDR DIMMs. The DDR
DIMMs must support CAS Latency 2, or greater. They must also contain the
mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial
Presence Detect (SPD) information.

Do not mix ECC and non-ECC DDR DIMMs. If different types of DIMMs are
mixed, the system does not properly function.
A DIMM can be installed only one way. Be sure to match the two key slots
on
the DIMM with the tab on the DIMM socket. Push the DIMM down into the
DIMM socket, ensuring that it is fully inserted and properly seated.
DIMMs can be installed in pairs or singularly. Installing DIMMs in identical
pairs allows for the activation of the Memory Interleaving capability (refer to
“Interleaving and Non-Interleaving Memory Configuration” later in this chapter).
